Albumette released by TONN Recordings, recorded by Iv/An during the period of self-isolation imposed by what is now known as the new normal after the global pandemic stopping the world in its tracks. Play loud when no-one is around. Stowaway dusted off.

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. From deathrock to electro punk. Stuck with casual poetry. The music project of the Berlin author Benjamin Schmidt is a gothic Frankenstein, who is constantly reassembled in various experiments. It’s strange music for strange people. In the age of dating apps, it’s becoming increasingly clear how capitalistic we are about love. We sell ourselves. And we also expect a service in return. These days, we really are economizing everything. That should worry us. Digital Album [free download] |
