Face Myself – A (Bonus!) Post-Punk Mix

Tom

Well that was a few enjoyable days in Budapest and this mix was on my player during the trip. Why another post-punk mix so soon you ask? Whilst putting together the Silent & Alone mix I had a number of tracks that did not fit in that mix, were left over or, in the case of one or two, forgotten. So, primarily for my commute, I put together another mix and thought I would share the end results as I think it works really well. Anyway enjoy! Full Tracklisting: Human Program – Bacteria Sounding like long lost outtakes from the … Continue reading Face Myself – A (Bonus!) Post-Punk Mix

Silent & Alone – A Post-Punk Mix

Tom

It’s been at least a month or so since the last post-punk mix and in that time there have been plenty of excellent singles and a few albums. Primarily a coldwave mix there is more than enough to keep you entertained whilst I am away for a few days in Budapest as it mixes the gloom merchants with those who want to dance in the dark. Alternative stream at hearthis. Full Track Listing: Molchat Doma – Zvezdy Quite a lot post-punk is aimed at the dancefloors these days and Zvezdy is no exception. See ya down there! Spheres – Leere … Continue reading Silent & Alone – A Post-Punk Mix

Холодный звонок – Генерал

Tom

I have been enjoying the EPs released this year by one man outfit Холодный звонок which roughly translates as Cold Calling. His (Dmitry Scherbakov) music is on the poppier side of coldwave and there are four synth-pop tracks here including two cover versions of originals by – well I haven’t a clue to be honest. The songs are energetic and lively despite being resplendent with words sung in a dour vocal style. However I think that adds to the charm as demonstrated on Дела which is my pick of the tracks on offer. EDIT – I think I located the … Continue reading Холодный звонок – Генерал

Post-Punk Tuesday

Tom

Rounding up some more post-punk inspired tunes. Beryllium – Beryllium Not sure if these are unfinished tracks, demos or works in progress but on this debut release there are four very short wave synth-pop/coldwave inspired post-punk tracks. The synths hook you in and the vocals give the songs (excerpts?) an extra dimension but they are oh so short. I really hope there is more to come from this act as this EP bodes well for the future. Figure Section – Spectre Belgium has a long association with all things coldwave/post-punk and Brussels based Figure Section is a new addition to … Continue reading Post-Punk Tuesday

Something for the Weekend? Three Post-Punk

Tom

This weeks features three of my post-punk picks from the past few weeks. Scary Black – Shadow Dwellers Shadow Dwellers is the debut album from Scary Black, an artist who has impressed me greatly this year. Mixing goth together with coldwave this is an excellent post-punk album and tracks like Not Tonite and The Crushing Weight are excellent examples of the genre. A must listen. Shadow Dwellers is available digitally from Secret Sin Records Ltd. Facebook Dehet Sinn – Mora Mora is the debut album from Polish band Dehet Sinn. Musically it is guitar dominated although some coldwave elements are … Continue reading Something for the Weekend? Three Post-Punk
