After their outstanding self-titled debut album (2011) and the breathtaking subsequent album “Choirs of Blessed Youth” (2014), the Swedish post punk / shoegaze band lead by Fernando Honoratio, true to their vision, continues to carve out its own unique musical path. As a first glimpse of their new album “Oceans”, to be released in early May, the new song and video “Strangers in The Night” was revealed on March 10th. The song is produced and mixed by the band themselves and the accompanying video is made by Swedish director Jacob Frössén, who among other things created the acclaimed documentary films “En film om Olle Ljungström” and “Henric De La Cour” in Sweden. As B-sides to the single, there are two remixes made by the Swedish synth producer Mister Monell, and by the dark pop/electro band New Canyons Chicago who made the song ready for the dancefloor.
Call it New Wave, call it Synthpop, call it Electropop, call it what you like. ManMachine is Roland XP50 and Goran Uroich, from Zagreb, Croatia.
“Dispi” (despair in Breton) is the latest compilation from Distag Records, an independent micro-label based in Brittany, France. 100% French synthpop / synthpunk.
Lebanon Hanover’s bassist William Maybelline is back with his solo project. After the debut album Sable from 2015, Qual strikes back with a three-track 12” maxi-single. Each one of these new songs explore a different dimension of Maybelline’s approach to Body/Wave electronics. The title-track Cupio Dissolvi is what we may already call classic Qual: gloomy and throbbing, synth-driven and labyrinthine. A Bloody Blob explores new martial slants, with war-like timpani and a marching robot gait. Rape Me in the Parthenon is a 8 minute long dancefloor mayhem anthem scanned by some pounding techno drumbeat and EBM snare and pads. The most alert of you already checked this in some Ancient Methods DJset. By far the most extreme track Qual recorded so far. “Buried in flowers with hands of gold / Buried together we’ll never mold” shall be thy epitaph here, as well as your message engraved on virgin vinyl. |
