As is tradition, we’re kicking off our Year End coverage with picks from friends of the site!
Observer: Statiqbloom & dormnt
For the final Observer of the year, we look at new releases by Statiqbloom, and dormnt.
Seeming, “The World”
Seeming’s fourth album of post-everything electronic songcraft is about the world, and how we move through it.
Das Ich, “Fanal”
Das Ich’s first album in nearly two decades holds to the dramatic and honest blend of darkwave, goth, and industrial which made them so sorely missed.
Qual, “Love Zone”
The new Qual LP is musically minimalist but still thematically bleak and garish.
X Marks The Pedwalk, “Insomnia”
X Marks The Pedwalk’s long-running second act firmly shifts into pure synthpop territory with the charming “Insomnia”.
Black Dahlia, “The Imposter”
Black Dahlia’s weirdo artpop sound comes into its own on their excellent new LP.
Observer: Trace Amount & The Kings Of Black Magic
Short form reviews of new records by Trace Amount and The Kings Of Black Magic (∆AIMON, SØLVE).
Wants, “In Plain Sight”
