July Round Up #2

Tom

And here is the SQL (ha ha – hint to what I do for a living) to yesterday’s post. Today’s round up concentrates the many faces of Post-Punk. Projet Marina – Rage Rage is the first single lifted from the band’s album Echos which is due for release in September. Synth pop of the highest calibre. Facebook Cult of Haze – Farewell There is a lot of quality post-punk coming out of Russia these days and this album is no exception. Harking back to the synthpop and goth pioneers of the early 1980’s Cult of Haze deliver an album that … Continue reading July Round Up #2

Something For The Weekend – Coldwave & Synthpop from Russia

Tom

This weeks pack of three concentrates on post-punk of the coldwave and synthpop varieties from Russia. Фирма-однодневка – Кабаки This is an excellent vintage sounding coldwave track that would have not been out of place in Belgium or France circa 1981. They also have an album available but I have yet to listen to that. VK.Com яблоня – мысли Female fronted infectious synthpop that sounds like parts of Man Machine if it was mixed Vince Clarke. Really liking this (the vocals are great) and they have plenty more on offer on their bandcamp page. That’s more to delve through – … Continue reading Something For The Weekend – Coldwave & Synthpop from Russia

Something For The Weekend – Three from Forthcoming Debut Albums

Tom

This weeks pack of three features three tracks from forthcoming debut albums. The Beths – Future Me Hates Me The title track from the forthcoming debut album from New Zealand band The Beths. It’s a fine slice of alt rock that will embed itself into your head due to it’s bounce. The album is out on August via Carpark Records – pre-order it from here. Facebook Young Scum – Wasting Time Superior jangle pop from Young Scum and a prelude to their debut, yet again self titled, album. Wasting Time, like 2016’s Zona, is pure pop perfection. It’s out on … Continue reading Something For The Weekend – Three from Forthcoming Debut Albums

Compilation Week – Paranoia Musique Vol. 2

Tom

Paranoia Musique Vol. 2 is the second volume (guess what the first was called?) wrapping up the darker side of post-punk to be released this year by the label of the same name. The Brazilian Paranoia Musique has scoured the globe for ya and there are contributions from South America, Asia and Europe. There are a couple of dubious entries here (isn’t there always?) but these are levelled out by excellent contributions from Diktatur, Gangue Morcego and the wonderful Makaria whom I would not heard otherwise. And that’s the point of compilations is it not? So if gothic post-punk inspired … Continue reading Compilation Week – Paranoia Musique Vol. 2
