Tom

Dark Embrace Me – A Post-Punk Mix

Tom

A post-punk mix featuring some of my most listened too post-punk tracks from the past few months. It primarily covers gothic rock and coldwave but also includes some other nuggets in between. Alternative stream at Hearthis.at Fall Tracklisting: Automatic – Calling It Calling It has thumping bass dominated groove with single tone, almost spoken, vocals that herald the arrival of the unclear synth sound. New Today – Snatch Taken from the recent New Today EP. Magnified Desire – Dead Flowers Australians Magnified Desire deliver two excellent synth-pop tracks that hark back to the early 1980s. The haunted, echoing vocals are … Continue reading Dark Embrace Me – A Post-Punk Mix

Echoscope – What We Lost EP

Tom

Andover’s Echoscope are a two piece gothic-rock act comprising of James Winter and Maisie Clark. The What We Lost EP is their debut demo EP. And what a find for the post-punk fan it is. The songs are strong whilst the words are dark but meaningful and are sung in an emotional style. Musically the songs are melodramatic, being guitar dominated in the main although we do get a track that is synth driven in the shape of When We Fall which gives a nod to early 1980s coldwave. Whilst I could chuck the usual suspects at you for comparisons … Continue reading Echoscope – What We Lost EP

Suffering For Kisses – Culture

Tom

As the sun finally comes out and shines down on old London town the music I am listening too gets a tad gloomier! I have been enjoying Suffering For Kisses music for a while now and I am not sure why I haven’t mentioned them before. Their music, well one Tony D’Oporto’s, is Gothic tinged post-punk driven by both guitars and synths. The vocal style is deadpan, almost spoken whilst the words are despairing, dejected. Even in the sun Culture gets me thinking of pouring rain and graveyards. And do you know what? That’s just how I like it. Facebook Continue reading Suffering For Kisses – Culture

Kill Shelter – In Decay/Bodies

Tom

Following on from last years debut album Damage released on French Label Unknown Pleasures Records Kill Shelter, aka Edinburgh based Pete Burns, has now released two tracks lifted from said album on Dutch label Burning World Records as a double-sided 7″ single. Both tracks are collaborations. In Decay features American outfit Delphine Coma whilst Bodies feature Australians Buzz Kull. These two songs, according to the label, explore death from different perspectives. But, that’s not all they have in common. Both are gloomy affairs mixing gothic rock and darkwave to great effect. The scowling vocals especially so. If, depressingly dark music … Continue reading Kill Shelter – In Decay/Bodies

Pawns – Monuments Of Faith

Tom

Monuments Of Faith is the title track from the forthcoming EP by New York based post-punk outfit Pawns. Musically it’s a fast paced slab of the darker side of post punk whilst the vocal style combines both hardcore and goth rock delivery which results in an impressive, melodic track. The EP is out soon on 7″ vinyl via London based label Inflammable Material. Facebook Continue reading Pawns – Monuments Of Faith
