Reviews
Alter Der Ruine, “There’s Always One More Son of a Bitch”
Listening to the final album from Arizona’s purveyors of electrofied-industrial proves to be both bitter and sweet.
Skinny Puppy, “Bootlegged, Broke And In Solvent Seas”
Although lacking by its very nature the full visual experience of a Puppy show, In Solvent Seas offers some good reads on classic brappage.
End to End: Aesthetic Perfection, “A Nice Place to Destroy”
We do a track-by-track rundown of the new Aesthetic Perfection digital single featuring remixes by Formalin, Comaduster and Daniel Myer!
Press Gang Metropol, “Checkpoint”
The debut from ex-Corpus Delicti members makes good use of a variety of new wave and post-punk tropes.
FGFC820, “Homeland Insecurity”
The new album from the Queens hard EBM duo stays the course, while engaging some newer and more complex ideas.
MEND, self-titled
Chicago IDM duo release an EP of warm, evocative, and elegant tunes which will no doubt help to whet appetites for their eventual full-length.
And One, “S.T.O.P.”
The first LP from the new/old And One line-up follows the trajectory of their career, for better or for worse.
THYX, “The Way Home”
The new mind.in.a.box side project finds Stefan Poiss in a far more relaxed and free-form mode than ever before, and offers a loose and fun clutch of tunes.
Cenotype, “The Hour Before”
The new EP from New Jersey’s Cenotype is a complete package, both musically and physically.
The Pitch: NKVD’s “Prolog”
Targetting Bruce’s weakness for science fiction concept records, Alex pitches him NKVD’s 1999 album of power noise alien war hymns.
End To End: Kant Kino, “LRSBSS”
Kant Kino return with a fun rave-up of a single which takes a more stripped-down, old-school approach to EBM than we’re accustomed to from the Norwegian duo.
Continues, Self-Titled
The exceptionally meaningful first album of “desire and drum machines” from Babyland’s Dan Gatto fulfills its promise, and more.
