This year we celebrate 25 years as a radio show. To celebrate this, we thought we make something special. We invited some of our favorite Swedish bands to make covers of our radio jingle to put out on a record. This 10” vinyl is the result and we are very happy and proud to present you stunning versions by Tobias Bernstrup, Deutsche Bank, Autodafeh, Spark! Machinista, Disco Digitale and Maskinpop. Vinyl is limited to 260 copies.
Here’s the latest release from Nachthexen, a synth-punk female band from Sheffield, England. Sumerian Fleet is a trio formed by Dutch producers Alden Tyrell and Mr Pauli, joined by Zarkoff after their 2010 debut EP. Their second EP came out in 2012 followed by their debut album ‘Just Pressure’ on Dark Entries in 2014. Sumerian Fleet have returned to release their sophomore LP ‘Pendulum’ of all new material as well as a remixed version of “This Game Has No Name” from Zarkoff’s other band, FFFC. ‘Pendulum’ contains 80’s Dark Wave/EBM inspired tracks with an industrial tinge. The band cites inspiration from musical acts Fad Gadget, Front 242, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy. Literary references come from Poe’s ‘The Pit and the Pendulum’, Pelevin’s ‘Generation P’ and ‘Life of Bugs’, as well as classic Cyberpunk like Gibson’s ‘Sprawl’ trilogy. Sumerian Fleet deliver 8 songs of vintage dark electro with a Gothic tinge and a touch of bass guitar. The album’s been put together in a way that the listener can connect the dots, create a narrative, and become immersed in this attitude that the band’s trying to convey, such as Vigny’s idea of accepting despair: “A calm despair, without angry convulsions or reproaches directed at heaven, is the essence of wisdom.” I tpame I tvrame is a duo, formed in early March, 2016 by Franc Kurti (Tirana, Albania) and Dina Hajrullahu (Prishtina, Kosovo). The band is based in Tirana, Albania. Here’s the first album from Churros Batiment, a Grunge-Wave duo from Grenoble, France. |
