Reviews
Mahr, “Her Embrace”
The new release from the Pale Noir boss showcases her remix work for some likeminded artists.
Ichtyor Tides, “Mortisle Elytrion”
Ichtyor Tides offer a record of drones, crackles, and French poetry which eschews common rhythmic devices for the sake of a more idiosyncratic listen.
Die Sektor, “The Final Electro Solution”
The third album from the Atlanta based group hinges on a mix of dubstep and dark electro sounds.
Organic, “Under Your Carbon Constellation”
The debut from the Belgian duo features electric bass set against electronics in a variety of different configurations for a pleasantly varied listen.
In Conversation: Covenant, “Northern Light”
A decade after its release, we reflect on Covenant’s immaculately produced bid for crossover success, revisit its club hits, and try to frame it within the band’s overall body of work.
Caustic, “The Man Who Couldn’t Stop”
Caustic doubles-down on the studio polish of last year’s outing, and field tests a wide range of sounds in rapid succession over the course of a mammoth LP.
Dead When I Found Her, “Rag Doll Blues”
The sophomore album from Portland’s Dead When I Found Her has the same skeleton as their Puppy inspired debut, with a pop heart beating inside it.

Cruise [Ctrl], “…Are Not What They Seem”
Belgium’s Cruise [Ctrl] draw upon Twin Peaks for inspiration on their third LP, and strike a newfound balance between noise and rhythm.
In Strict Confidence, “Utopia”
The new album from the venerable German group sticks with the darkwave template they’ve been working towards for a decade.
End To End: DarkDriveClinic, “Noise In My Head reMix Album Part 1”
A by-donation clutch of remixes gives some of DarkDriveClinic’s richly produced tracks some breathing room and club opportunities.
X Marks the Pedwalk, “The Sun, The Cold And My Underwater Fear”
The second post comeback record from Sevren Ni-Arb’s reactivated EBM project has a contemplative, personal feel.
Horror Vacui, “In Darkness You Will Feel Alright”
Debut LP from Italian newcomers delivers deathrock punch and goth panache in equal doses.
