Minimal electronic beats meet laconic spoken vocals, creating a sound that is both precise and stark, yet rhythmically compelling. The lyrics offer short, fragmentary images: bodies, bones, machines, decay — lists and observations capturing what remains, or what falls apart. At times, one hears the precision of DAF, elsewhere the dramatic flair of Falco, and a detached, documentary-like intimacy reminiscent of Hubert Fichte.

After an EP called ‘EP’ in 2022, Rare Spam now gives the world a full album of minimal post-punk songs and weirdo pop hits. Its bubbly bass lines and wobbly guitars making it the perfect soundtrack to walk back home to after having one too much at your favorite bar – or the worst! As it initially was intended as two EPs you actually save a buck ordering this tape as it’s not two tapes… Cassette / Digital Album [free download] Named after a French drama from 1953, recently remade in 2024, Lohn Der Angst defies the sound of both eras. With growling synths, hypnotic drumming, and yelled vocals, the duo navigates through rough terrain, best experienced in their intense live shows. Nachschlag and Mangel now release the second tape for this project, with members also performing in Schwund, Kryptkeeper, Das Das, Die Hühnerfickerkombo, and more… Cassette / Digital Album [free download] After releasing three songs on YouTube, the Antwerp-based post-punk band Rehash has teamed up with Mangel to launch their first release, ‘Aktion Reaktion!’, on vinyl and tape. Their stripped-down German lyrics, more slogans than poetry, provide a rebellious soundtrack not only for Antwerp’s youth. Drawing inspiration from late 70s German and British punk, they infuse these influences with a modern twist. 12″ / Cassette / Digital Album [free download] |
