Tragic hope, hauntings, and the cult search into the unknown. Corbeau Hangs is an X-Files-esque look into the anomalies of the nature of 80s darkness. Blending post-punk grittiness, driven industrial tones and the atmospheric dilemma of darkwave and coldwave to garnish a wave of familiar and nostalgic hints while being something totally of its own electronic persona.

The Tear Garden, the legendary experimental project of Edward Ka-Spel (The Legendary Pink Dots) and cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy), is set to release their highly anticipated new album, Astral Elevator. This record marks a significant return for the duo, delivering a soundscape that is both familiar and refreshingly new. As with their past work, the album is a journey through surreal, often haunting electronic textures and Ka-Spel’s distinct, poetic lyricism and mysticism.

Dancing Plague’s Domain is a searing dive into the emotional wreckage of identity, loss, and existential disillusionment. Unflinchingly raw and brimming with industrial power, the album traces the descent into emotional numbness and self-alienation with an unrelenting intensity. From the haunting plea of “With You I Am Nothing” to the crushing collapse of “I Turn to Dust,” each track pulses with distorted synths, mechanized beats, and vocals that tremble between vulnerability and rage. The album bleeds despair and beauty in equal measure, exposing the frayed nerves of a mind unraveling in real time.

While its sonic palette draws from darkwave, EBM, and post-industrial textures, Domain is more than a genre exercise—it’s a personal exorcism. Tracks like “Bitter Taste” and “Impostor” speak to inner torment and the inability to reconcile one’s outward self with the chaos within. Lyrically introspective yet sonically confrontational, the album is steeped in duality: desire and detachment, memory and void, numbness and pain. Released on Artoffact Records, Domain solidifies Dancing Plague’s evolution into a singular voice in modern dark electronic music, finding strange comfort in the bleakest corners of the psyche.

SOFT VEIN releases FROM ANOTHER ROOM (EP), a six-track collection serving as an epilogue to the THROUGH BLINDS album cycle. The EP features two distinct perspectives on the band’s music.

The first half presents three remixes. Twin Tribes offers their ethereal darkwave sensibility, while Qual contributes stark industrial energy with additional, blazing vocals. Chaos International rounds out this section with a more experimental synthpop approach to SOFT VEIN’s sound.

The latter half of the EP sees SOFT VEIN interpreting three notable tracks from the new wave and synth-pop eras. They lend their melancholic style to songs by Eurythmics, The Human League, and The Blue Nile, offering fresh perspectives on these familiar tracks. FROM ANOTHER ROOM (EP) expands on SOFT VEIN’s artistic scope, providing both compelling reinterpretations and sincere homages.

However, this release introduces a subtly nuanced melodic dimension, creating a compelling interplay between dissonance and harmony.
