Dutch artist Sololust returns with a new album: Oh Allen, a captivating collection of eleven tracks that delve deep into the emotional and musical universe of minimal synth and coldwave. “Oh Allen is a mystical album about loss, longing, and the elusiveness of meaning,” says Sololust about the album. “It’s an emotional reflection on the world as I experience it. That makes it my most personal work to date.”
After their acclaimed debut with “Glam Is Gone”, Venin Carmin releases her second album “Constant Depression”. This album is again full of catchy tunes. Sometimes light-footed, sometimes razor-sharp. France’s most extroverted post-punk / coldwave band is not a world improver. Situations are perceived from a distance, but the interpretation ensures that it all becomes very personal in the end. Many listeners will recognize themselves in the songs while dancing to the music.
“SING ME SOMETHING SINISTER” is like a cinematic sound document from outer space. This compilation listens like a dark fairytale with a bright side where you can dance to. A story that starts with The White Container, in which desire and disappointment fight for priority. A theme that applies to the continuation of this album. “SING ME SOMETHING SINISTER” is a musical document of desire, intrigue, aliens, unforeseen events and dark rituals. It takes us to the depths of the soul and beyond. The atmosphere of this album has been masterfully translated by artist Mo Arab, with his painting ‘Domina Corvus’.

After the success of ‘A Visual And Auditory Reminder Of The Beauty Of Life’, Seja’s first compilation on vinyl, a second edition was about to be expected soon; people keep on asking about it. The combination of well-known and less known, European and overseas, turns this release into a scenic view of the state of the contemporary alternative electronic music scene. Hard pruning work is interspersed with delicate songs and it is this that makes this album so surprising and special. It is striking quality with carefully chosen sequence of songs. Seja herein has a sure “fingerspitzengefühl” for which ‘SORE’ sounds like one logical piece.
