Reviews
Noblesse Oblige, “Affair of the Heart”
The Berlin-based electro duo return with a less decadent album that is still in possession of some continental charm.
Zinovia, “The Gift Of Affliction”
The debut record from Greek IDM/neo-classical composer Zinovia creates a rich space for reflection and daydreaming alike.
Nexus Kenosis, “Further”
The weird EBM project from Henrik Björkk of Pouppée Fabrikk gets a whole lot weirder on this collaborative EP, featuring internet superstar Labanna Babalon.
Funker Vogt, “Companion In Crime”
Checking in with Funker Vogt, the German military EBM stalwarts are found lacking even in the cheap thrills which used to be their stock and trade.
Aliceffekt, “Dei Dain”
The new album from Montreal rhythmic noise producer Devine Lu Linvega acts as a solid example of his strengths as an artist.
Gheists, “Age”
The producer behind Mangadrive plays with some darker, slower styles but doesn’t forfeit his attention to detail or bombastic sensibility.
Rhombus, “Here Be Dragons”
Goth rock veterans Rhombus develop a case of wanderlust on a melodic and adventurous release.
Mesh, “Automation Baby”
We revisit the 2013 album from the Bristol-based synthpop act with an ear towards figuring out why it never really clicked with us.
Blac Kolor, “Range”
The debut release from this German dark techno project draws upon multiple subgenres, holding everything together with claustrophobic and uneasy production.
In Conversation: Front Line Assembly, “Echogenetic”
The senior staff chews the fat regarding Front Line Assembly’s new album, which pulls out all the stops in combining their classic template with current sounds.
Syrian, “Death of a Sun”
The Italian futurepop act rewind their sound to the 80s for a fun summer synthpop workout.
The Legendary Pink Dots, “The Gethsemane Option”
The Legendary Pink Dots reemerge after a brief hiatus with an album that’s as cold, dark, and resolute as anything in recent memory from their fantastic encampment.
