I haven't checked in with И⸸CO▽SLΛVΞ in a while, so it's good to see the dude is as prolific as he has always been. His new joint "What Is The Point" is a solid 7-minute long inspirational witch wave banger. As usual, the melody, synths, drumwork - it's all there, arranged to the maximum headnod-ometer. Get the track here.
Luminol returns with a new EP "The Feeling That Something Is Missing". I'm usually not a big HNW fan, but there's something special within Luminol's sonic waves, embossed with industrial hiss and grit, that really clicked with me. The whole release is inspired by loss, which I guess one can approach in a personal manner, but for me, there is an obscure, hard-to-identify quality that just draws me in.

Nova Scotian label Buried in Slag and Debris released this cross-border split tape last month from Imminent Death and Kate Rissiek. "Rigid Horizon" brings us two distinct sides of the experimental electronics coin. Allison of Imminent Death delivers eerie drones and industrial noise that teleport me aboard a ship lost somewhere within the Bermuda Triangle, anxiously drifting and hoping for salvation. Kate's side, on the other hand, leads the confused crew further into the abyss with harsh noise wall transmissions and shrieks of power electronics instrumentation. No one will make it alive. I am generally not 100% sold on the idea of split releases, but this one landed way better than I was expecting. Totally worth your time and money!

Merely three months after dropping their radical debut album, Modern Violenc3 return with "The America Tape". Sixteen tracks deep, this album builds on the witch-rave foundations of its predecessor, bumping the gear up with nihilistic lyrics and take-no-prisoners tempos - NOS thrown in for an extra boost. In an ideal world, this would be the official soundtrack to a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game with a forced mode to play at 1.5x speed. The chemistry between Winter's futuristic-yet-current beats and Phoebe's rap delivery is undeniable - they make sure not a single second is wasted throughout this spellbinding record. It's a stunning feat for a band so new (in a way) to build such a powerful foundation in just a few short months. I'm genuinely so excited to see what's next for them. I just hope there will be physical editions of those records!
The album is out now on Bandcamp and iTunes. Stream down below.
Dakota Rogers released this incredible single "Calling" a few months back and I totally missed out on it. Dreamy, ethereal jam based on Burial sample that melts my heart every single time - you just can't go wrong here. Plaese support the artist if you can here.
Lover's Leap returns with a brand new 2-track vinyl single on newly minted Perverse Incentives. "Summer Rain" is a deliciously dark and gritty collage of power electronics, addictive noise signals and chopped up harsh walls. Both tracks are sick, but "Belongings Scattered Around The Entrance" moves something inside me.
You can peep the digital version here. Records will be on sale soon, make sure to follow label's IG page.
