Reviews
Marsheaux, “Inhale”
In it’s best moments the new album from the Greek synthpop duo can still inspire feelings of elation.
Replicas: Nagamatzu, “Igniting The Corpse”
The reissue of Nagamatzu’s last release offers tight compositions ranging from darkwave to neo-classical to post-punk.
Download, “Lingam”
cEvin Key and Phil Western return with a new album of sprightly analogue IDM and techno, as weirdly listenable as it is spacey and inscrutable.
Container 90, “Working Class League”
Anhalt heroes Container 90 serve up another platter of Oi!BM fun, and manage to work in some subtle new musical flourishes.
Comaduster, “Hollow Worlds”
The first proper LP from Réal Cardinal is a triumph, both technically and artistically, and as an exercise in exploding genre via songcraft.
Kirlian Camera, “Black Summer Choirs”
Kirlian Camera continue their mission, reintroducing earlier acoustic sounds while charting a darker new electronic course.
Autodafeh, “Blackout Scenario”
The new album from Sweden’s Autodafeh is not without it’s charms, but still shows a band in the grips of their influences.
XP8, “Adrenochrome”
Italy’s XP8 tighten things up for a slick and club-ready concept record.
Rome, “Hate Us And See If We Mind”
Rome quickly reemerge with a strange but compelling EP, finding Jerome Reuter straddling the project’s neo-folk roots and the most wild reaches of its ambition.
End to End: Agent Side Grinder, “SFTWR”
We scan a collection of remixes from one of our favourite Swedish post-punk/synth groups, fresh to our ears from a new domestic pressing.
Volt 9000, “Conopoly”
Our review of the label debut for Toronto’s tweaky post-industrial act, featuring an exclusive stream of the album!
Access To Arasaka, “Écrasez l’infâme”
Access To Arasaka’s range of sounds is admirably expanded in this brief but ambitious EP.
