There is minimal synth and then there is Iv/An. In a class all of his own, with a voice like no other, full of depth and clarity of tone, Iv/An’s releases on TONN Recordings have brought us synth that is executed with exacting precision. Skilfully pared back to expose their inventiveness, each track is interwoven with thought provoking narratives that speak to us of the human condition.
Toxic Razor and Kriistal Ann came together to form the Athens, Greece-based dark electronic duo Paradox Obscur in early 2014. As one of the few electronic ensembles to record their albums in real time, the duo are able to capture the essence and magic of the moment without the aid of sequencing and editing software. Paradox Obscur then take it all a step further, utilizing vintage synthesizers and drum machines to create their captivating raw sound. While the prolific Toxic Razor and Kriistal Ann have worked on many projects apart, it is with Paradox Obscur where their critically acclaimed talents have resulted in the release of 4 full-length albums and an additional five EPs, supported by scores of dynamic live performances all over the European map.
Kuzina (meaning “cousin”) – founded in 2018 in Voronezh, Russia, stands at the intersection of synth-pop, new wave and minimal synth. Kuzina – “Night King” is a double single, based on the poems of the founder of Russian metaphysical realism, Yuri Mamleev. As always, fun about the scary.
Ostseetraum is a small minimal wave band, which, together with bass, guitar, synths, drum machines and vocals, performs scrambled and annoying music for you.
Gape Attack! made one of the most difficult sounds to describe that we’ve ever known, and not because it is very hard to find a tag that fits, but because of the amount of these tags that can be suitable for them. Minimal, synth-punk, weirdo, 8-bits, extreme lofi, coldwave, dark pop anthems, new wave… And for sure and as summary of all this, that multipurpose “catch-all” term that is Post-punk. FDH Records brings us now on a really sick 12″ this stunning treasure track comp. taken from the very short but essential 2008-2010 catalog of this drunk and drugged Seattle’s line-up, that with these ultra-Lofi recordings on cheap gears, managed to blow our brains out as only few have done.
