Ash Code is the moniker for the meeting of Alessandro’s sensivity and Claudia’s taste. Their music describe a collage of darkwave, noise and electronic music with a solid drum machine. Dark ballads and obsessive beats, deep and melancholic synths, noise and distortions, arpeggiators and delays. Lights and shades. Dances of Death. Visions and theatricality. Coded ash.
Twin Tribes is a Dark Synth / Post Punk duo based in Brownsville, Texas. Formed by Luis Navarro (vocals, guitar, synth, drum machines) and Joel Niño, Jr. (bass, synth, vocals) in 2017. The band gathers their influences from the period of the dark 80′s. Dark Wave, Post-Punk and Cold Wave are only a couple of genres that the band summons using analog synthesizers and drum machines. Dark melodic sounds, lyrics of the undead, the occult and parallel universes are what conjure Twin Tribes.
A nervous guitar, hypnotic loops, a deep voice. With great reinforcements of arpeggiators and rhythm boxes, Egoprisme builds a synthetic universe with cold wave accents in a dark, hybrid and bewitching atmosphere.
4 years after the release of debut album Heaven via Fabrika Records, M!R!M is back with “Iuvenis”, a dark/pop LP with 14 new tracks smoothly sewn by the young London based Italian Jack Milwaukee. “Iuvenis is the result of two years of writing in my bedroom” Jack says. Entirely written with analog and digital synths, vintage drum machines, blurry vocals and dark bass lines, Iuvenis is once again a DIY work. The album is clearly influenced by the 80′s post-punk / synth pop scene (New Order, The Wake, Killing Joke); yet it differs from the previous album and follows the last work released such as the 7” Matilde / Velvet Dress and the dream pop experience matured with Leave The Planet. The “StoryTelling” in Iuvenis is more obvious than before, the album takes the listener to a deep nostalgic obscurity where laying down and being cuddled gently by the solitude is a must, while the sealing gets pierced by soft dreams and impossible hopes to reach. “Iuvenis is a Latin Word which means young man, which I am” Jack says.
With the artistic promise to make a step forward from the gloomy shades, “Night Idyll” transforms dark into psychedelic drone made of shimmering ethereal movements strongly inspired by a brighter nocturnal dance in particular making “Love Collides” an ideal new start. Significantly, the songs favour imagery of love-passion lasting over time and massive melodies replacing the claustrophobic, smothering mood of previous SCHONWALD work is new-found appreciation of space and the actual melody itself, infused with a kind of vainglorious mix of shoegaze, darkwave and dream pop.
