Nina Belief’s “The Wanderer” intricately dissects the dual nature of wanderlust, juxtaposing the exhilarating freedom it offers with a poignant search for meaning or an escape from inner turmoil. Set against Cappadocia’s surreal landscapes, the piece encapsulates the isolation and allure of perpetual wandering, offering a profound commentary on the human condition.
Dive into the depths of darkness with “Pogranichnyi,” the latest coldwave/darkwave album from Скубут (Skubut). This captivating release explores the border between old and new, weaving haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes.
Plexi Stad comes around the corner with their second 7”, which is their first release on Mangel. With broken-down melodies, they insist on rhythms and tones, somehow stubborn and angry. The bass purrs along and the guitar works its way into the rhythm section, while the vocals sit on top, somehow offended, once more whipping the songs forward. Sometimes a melody breaks through and the whole thing becomes catchy and dancy. 7″ / Digital Album [free download]
Cymbaline is a new wave formation from the Netherlands. Their music draws heavily on the post-punk era of the late ‘70s-early ‘80s. By using vintage synthesizers and drum computers, which reminisce of the rawness and coldness of grey industrial cities, they try to capture the melancholy that is associated with this period. Yet, their music sounds refreshingly up to date. |
