Cold Beat is a San Francisco-based quartet fronted by Hannah Lew (synths, vocals) with Kyle King (synths, guitar), Luciano Talpini Aita (synths) and Sean Monaghan (guitar). Formed in 2013 the band has released three albums and two EPs. ‘A Simple Reflection’ is a 7-song collection of Eurythmics covers, yet feels just as personal as any of their original material. While digging through a collection of 12″s for her record shop Contact Records, Lew stumbled across the earliest Eurythmics B-sides and was floored. This lead to the discovery of their debut album ‘In The Garden’. Annie Lennox’s abstract and poetic lyrics really struck a chord with Hannah. What had started out as a single cover quickly snowballed into a full blown obsession. The synth and drum programming resonated with her songwriting process, so reimagining them was very creatively fulfilling. The covers on this EP are simultaneously dynamic and atmospheric post-punk that plays to Lew’s ethereal vocals and King’s crystalline guitar.
A hybrid in its genre combines the darkwave with boxes synthes and controllers, Camilo Alfonso and Leonardo Jaime are a dark machine in process and a product of the recent global performance of Colombia.
Postmodernism forms is an electronic project based in Bogotá and Berlin. We are a synthwave duo, with influences, cold, minimal, dark wave, post punk, techno tones. A hypnotic band of strong and energetic sounds with sensual and harmonic vocals full of lyrics and deep and emotional verses. Expressionist, sweet and poetic. The project is formed by Erika Gómez and Andrés Royet.
Columbus, Ohio darkwave duo Child of Night, made of Jonathan Thompson & Tristan Wolfe, released the 5-track EP “What Remains” on cassette tape, with their distinctive blend of electro, cold and gloomy sounds. In “Sirens” pulsing crunching bass lines, unrelenting synthetic beats and icey wash of synths plunge into the depth of a weighty, bleak and dark soundscape. Fuelled by Tristan’s defiant and commanding baritone vocals, declaring his fearless attitude in reaction to the doom and dread of today’s reality. Will you succumb to fear or fly above it? An intriguing brooding song of aching intensity and rare immediacy. [Whitelight / Whiteheat] |
