Tom

Another healthy dose of all things post punk that should see you through this weekend. There are some incredible tracks in this mix but it’s up to you to discover them, just as I did, as I plan on covering some of these in more depth over the next week or two. Enjoy! EDIT. If the tracks skip (Playmoss bug) head to the links below. More playlists can be found here and the Playmoss page is here.

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

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

Tragic Presentations – Coldwave, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Goth-Rock and Minimal Synth Vol 6

Tom

I was hoping for a miserable wet Sunday which would have been my cue for presenting this, the sixth installment of gloomy post-punk. Typically London is bathed in glorious Autumn sunshine today but strangely enough this latest playlist is the perfect accompaniment to gazing out of the window and watching leaves fall off the trees whilst the music pumps through your headphones. Enjoy! Continue reading Tragic Presentations – Coldwave, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Goth-Rock and Minimal Synth Vol 6

You Can See – Coldwave, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Goth-Rock and Minimal Synth Vol 5

Tom

Another mix of post-punk for your listening pleasure. Aside from the obvious Joy Division clones there seems to be quite a bit of innovation in post-punk genres especially under Coldwave of late so much so I could probably start a new blog around it. Probably! Once again there is more than enough to keep you occupied from the return of Cold Cave and music from new post punk bands hailing from from Italy, France, Mexico and many more places around the globe. So get stuck in and enjoy! Continue reading You Can See – Coldwave, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Goth-Rock and Minimal Synth Vol 5

A Voice That Whispers In My Head – Coldwave, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Goth-Rock and Minimal Synth Vol 4

Tom

As promised yesterday here is the second mix for this weekend. This time the mix concentrates on coldwave, post-punk and minimal wave to cover a few genres! As I get older I find myself progressing back to listening to the music in my youth and this mix certainly reminds me of those times. There is some wonderful stuff here from Europe and the States – enjoy! Continue reading A Voice That Whispers In My Head – Coldwave, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Goth-Rock and Minimal Synth Vol 4

Fopmusic – You’re So

Tom

You’re So is an upbeat retro synthpop track complete with deadpan post-punk vocals that are almost robotic as the lyrics reel off Lars-Göran Forsberg’s tongue. However it’s the End Of Party RMX by Synths Versus Me that really grabs me sounding like an updated version of Blackbelt Andersen’s classic track Tyrkisk Pepper. Just when you think it’s going to be vocal free they fade in for the last couple of minutes to great effect. Make no mistake, this is Coldwave for the dancefloor. I like…..

Records I Like Top 10 2016

Tom

Blimey. This year’s list was hard to compile given that I restrict myself to just 10 choices (self-inflicted stupidity!). I have been listening to plenty of punk, coldwave, indie-pop, riot grrrl, queercore, garage and post-punk but I think this selection is a fair reflection of my listening habits these past 12 months. Tracks missing the cut include the likes of Underworld, Joanna Gruesome, The Radio Dept., The Legends, Earth Girls,The Liminanas, Red Sleeping Beauty, Massive Attack, Jessica & The Fletchers, Vital Idles, Useless Youth, E’spaniel, Nice Try, Hate Week, Primetime, Tape Waves, The Wolfhounds, Merchandise, Slam, Blind Delon, Lad’s Mags, … Continue reading Records I Like Top 10 2016
