Reviews
Flint Glass & Ah Cama-Sotz, “The Shadow Of The Torturer”
Flint Glass & Ah Cama-Sotz’s second collaborative LP takes a cinematic approach to Gene Wolf’s legendary “The Book Of The New Sun”.
SDH, “Rider”
Spanish duo SDH have crafted their definitive statement to date via the intimate, nervy electro of their third album.
Randolph & Mortimer, “The Penultimate Truth”
A somewhat unexpected and voluminous remix release from Randolph & Mortimer offers loads of club fare and a reminder of how versatile that project’s reads on dance music at large can be.
Madeline Goldstein, “Speaking to the Body”
Los Angeles electronic chanteuse Madeline Goldstein comes through with an album of considerable charm and stature.
Sonic Area, “And Shadow”
Even in a club inspired new record, Arnaud Coëffic’s Sonic Area project casts fresh perspectives on electronic minimalism.

New material from Avskedsrum and Ratpajama is examined.
Divider, “Zero”
LA act Divider’s approaches to EBM remain deceptively complex as ever on their new record.
Verttigo, “Tomorrow Is Gone”
Edmonton’s Verttigo hit the middle ground between dreampop and post-punk on their debut LP.
Mecha Maiko, “Nervous System”
The Canadian electropop chanteuse makes weirdly relatable, charming tunes on the new LP.
Diavol Strâin, “Eterno Retorno”
A bracing and full-bodied blast of maximalist darkwave from Chile’s Diavol Strâin makes a strong early bid for darkwave record of the year.

Veteran synthpop/rock fusionists Mesh draw together some of their best songwriting and arrangement manoeuvres.
clubdrugs, “lovesick”
Chicago darkwave-pop duo clubdrugs come through with a lush, catchy and thoroughly enjoyable debut LP.
