Arctic synth pads, ghostly reverbs and urban spleen, Hørd’s music flirts with a gothic/darkwave aesthetic in a forward- thinking way. With elements of post-punk, EBM, shoegaze and techno to create haunting soundscapes, sometimes beat-driven, sometimes more contemplative.

Begging Dog is the indie punk project of Los Angeles-based artist Jeff Kleinman. An outlet for his work outside of the band Choir Boy, Begging Dog finds Kleinman embracing a raw, homespun sound with nods to garage punk and plain language lyricism.

An anthology of horror songs, each one transporting us into a new nightmarish scenario: successful devil invocations, urban magic, cannibalistic instincts toward a fellow passenger on the train, and many other vile and dreadful things.

Between 2023 and 2025, L.F.T. split his time between Hamburg and Berlin, slowly piecing together what would become his most ambitious work to date. The result is Hell Was Boring – a double album that plays like a fever dream, unfolding as a dark, mythical tale about life, death, and the strange spaces in between.

L.F.T. – the alias of German producer and multi-instrumentalist Johannes Haas – has always thrived on tension: between punk urgency and electronic precision, between raw emotion and mechanical repetition. On Hell Was Boring, those tensions are amplified. Drawing on the spectral drama of Bauhaus, the melancholic minimalism of Linear Movement, the futuristic romanticism of Gary Numan, and even the sly swagger of Falco, the album feels at once deeply personal and part of a much older musical lineage.

The sound is stripped down to its bones: drums snap and rattle from a Roland TR-808, TR-707 and Korg KR-55; basslines growl from a Roland SH-101 and Korg MS-20; shards of guitar cut through clouds of tape hiss. Everything was tracked to a Teac Tascam 80-8 reel-to-reel, giving each track a lived-in, imperfect warmth. Nothing is overpolished – L.F.T. wanted the listener to hear the edges, the grit, the moments when the music almost comes apart.
