Identified Patient & Sophie du Palais - Don't Exclude Anything

Identified Patient and his notorious femme fatale are back with another record of deranged darkroom anthems for Pinkman. This 12” is where crunchy drums and heavy bass are laced with aggressively seductive vocals by Sophie Du Palais. While the theme of the songs, compared with their previous record, goes in a rather kinky direction, the raw ferocity that never fails to grip a dance floor remains.

Five Years of Tears Vol. 2

Pinkman delivers another sturdy record for the connoisseurs of discomforting electronics. The second 5 Years Of Tears release unifies 6 artists, each with their own interpretation of the labels ill-famed sound, embodied in vibrating basslines, metallic beats, and corrosive acid. Gear yourself up for yet more nerve-racking music and get accustomed to the obscurity of this series of releases, because the madness is all but finished.

Eleven Pond - Drive

DRIVE // past Eleven Pond albums were named after sculpture genres, this one is not. the ‘Drive’ title comes from an obsession with vehicles and the freedoms, experiences or excitement they brings via sports car, truck, motorcycle, scooter, race bike , stunt jet, submarine, etc… but it also has to do with a drive to find love, something much harder to acquire than fast objects.

Sólveig Matthildur - Constantly In Love

Constantly in Love, the second record from Kælan Mikla keyboardist and back-up singer Sólveig Matthildur, is an emotional, poetic, and breathtaking creation. From the light-hearted but dead serious first single and video (“Dystopian Boy”), to the medieval symmetry of the album’s construction (spoiler: it’s a massive envelope poem), Sólveig has, quite possibly, written album for the ages.

Channeling influences as varied as trip-hop pioneers Portishead, to black metal band Urfaust, to French post-punk chanteuse Hante, Sólveig’s sophomore album is one part darkwave, one part spoken art-poetry jams, and one part electronic downtempo compositions. Rolling Stone’s David Fricke likely put it best: after seeing Sólveig live, he called her “a tablet-age reincarnation of the post–Velvet Underground Nico.”
