Dais Records: Death Bells – Take My Spirit Now

Death Bells - Take My Spirit Now

Death Bells return with the spiritually guided ‘Take My Spirit Now’, following 2022′s shadowy, post-punk influenced LP ‘Between Here & Everywhere.’

‘Take My Spirit Now’ explores themes of love, paranoia, and destiny. The band enlisted longtime friend Morgan Wright, of Australian label Burning Rose, to mix the EP, with Wright’s background in electronic music influencing the more programmatic elements of the release. The five songs were written and recorded in late 2022, after months of touring North America and Europe. ‘Take My Spirit Now’ introduces an unruly new sound, with jagged guitars careening through towering feedback and textured drums.

Oliver Decrow – I Close My Eyes

Oliver Decrow - I Close My Eyes

Oliver Decrow’s music thrives on bass-driven synths. Drawing inspiration from bands such as Beta Evers, Boan, Boy Harsher, Buzz Kull, Joy Division, and The Cure, he creates tracks with minimal and carefully selected sounds combined with poetic vocals. Deep basslines, looping synthesizer sounds, and 80s drum machine samples converge to create an immersive sonic experience.

Oliver Decrow has released music on renowned labels, including I’m a Cliché and his own label, G50 Records. He has also been featured on the esteemed Cold Transmission label. In addition to his solo work, he actively participates in band projects such as Klassenfeind and The Node. During his live performances, Oliver Decrow passionately delivers his vocals while playing keys, infusing his shows with energy and authenticity. [Soundcloud]

Feel It Records: Morwan – Svitaye, Palaye

Morwan - Svitaye, Palaye

‘Svitaye, Palaye’ is the third album from the Kyiv, Ukraine post-punk project, Morwan. The album was supposed to be the logical continuation of the previous album ‘Zola-Zemlya’, which was released in 2020.

Initially, when conceiving the album in 2021, it was intended to be lighter, melancholic and somewhat danceable while maintaining the basic sonic style and aesthetics of the previous albums.

However, the Russian invasion in Ukraine slowed down the work and made serious changes to the general idea of the album. The main theme of the album is the war. There are no specific stories or descriptions of the events of the war. It’s more of an abstract and emotional thing. First impressions, moods or emotions experienced during certain events. Pain of loss, sadness, fear, hatred, anger, and aggression are all part of ‘Svitaye, Palaye’.
