Collaboration of Local Suicide (wild fusion of new wave, acid, slow techno, EBM & postdisc) and Skelesys (synthpop / darkwave), both from Berlin, Germany.
Rogelio Serrano’s creative work is focused on the sound and rhythmic design carried out using analogue synthesizers and eurorack modular system, inspired by the landscapes and high-speed vehicle trips, the interferences, organic and non-organic different social dystopian settings. Compilation of 13th contemporary artists from Oráculo Records, a Spanish label specializing in synth based darkwave music. Civic Center’s sophomore LP and final release finds the band less conjoined to their skeletal post-punk backbone. With moments of tinny, hypnotic cello and cold, rumbling modular landscapes, the experience is more loose than previous excursions. “Beam lights into the sky to rival the sun- let your words pour down.” Settlements is a tribute to the futile and extraordinary efforts of man. The lyrical content is deeply indebted to the paintings of Courbet and the limestone dwellings of Alberobello. Crumbling and claustrophobic, Settlements is presented as Civic Center’s final document. Solo minimal synth project from Athens, Greece. Eddie Dark came out of the morgue in September 2021 and has been composing mourning music ever since. |
