Catching up on Sad Madona's last year's output - this two-track single recorded in collaboration with an individual called LovelyEddie sits somewhere between synthwave with extra dark glasses and shoegazing coldwave. While the "Demo" version is the more polished of the two, it's the extra lo-fi "(oct.2000)" edit that does something special for me. It has this underground, gritty 80s vibe many records had behind the Iron Curtain. Jam.

New video single from MSV dropped earlier today, promoting the new EP "Le Masque du Miroir" and featuring clips from Cosmotropia de Xam's latest movie "Hollywood Pandemonium 2".
The Implicit Order has resurrected his collaborative album with Mary Shelley, "Spring Time Steeped In Mud", which was deleted from Bandcamp a few months back. The redux comes with new mixes, a slightly altered tracklist, and refreshed cover art. The original version came out last year via Phantasma Disques in CD format. I bought it the moment it dropped, but totally forgot to blog about it. Josefin and Anthony's musical partnership has always been shrouded in mystery, so I can't tell how much each contributed to these tracks, but it's worth saying echoes of their distinct styles reverberate throughout. Sonically, the album floats through phantom witch house fog stretching over an eerie lake of dark ambient, psych-drone, and post-industrial soundscapes. With its range of sounds and influences, the record is able to instantly transport you to a spooky swamp, a satanic mass, or a dew-soaked meadow at dawn all at once, without losing its thread of cohesiveness. It's one of those projects where the more you listen, the deeper you fall into its grip.

Black Light District's new gothic electronica single "Exhausted" sounds like something out the the Lost Boys OST. Picture a handful of handsome vampire bad boys on motorcycles racing towards the moonlight. Sick track, you can buy it here.
