Haunter returns with an atmospheric mini-album inspired by the confrontation of unsettling emotions.
Since first splashing on to the Southern California circuit in the mid- aughts, Geneva Jacuzzi (née Garvin) quickly cemented herself as the queen of the Los Angeles underground. Her immersive and unhinged multimedia performances are the stuff of legend, a psychotropic gallery of masks, costumes, confrontation, and massive art installations. Jacuzzi’s recordings are equally revered, catchy hooks and cryptic moods dusted in 4-track grit. The arrival of her third official full-length, and Dais Records debut, is cause for such celebration. ‘Triple Fire’ vividly expands and crystallizes Jacuzzi’s signature fusion of midnight melody and mutant aerobics across a 12-track hit parade of wildcard synth-pop and sly post-apocalyptic camp. Her enthusiasm for the album is as bold as her body of work: “Halfway through, we started calling this the record of the prophecy, the record that’s going to save mankind.” Darkways is a darkwave band from Barcelona, Spain, blending influences from rock and metal with a passion for exploring the realms of post-punk and synthesizer-based sounds. The band creates a captivating sonic landscape where darkwave sensibilities meet the nostalgic echoes of vintage electronic sounscapes. |
