Human Hollow - Dark Space (Next To Me)
One of my fav new bands is back with yet another amazing single. Portland's Human Hollow cooked "Dark Space (Next To Me)" during their incredible "Against the Clock" video series in just over 20 minutes - and delivered a hauntingly capturing dream pop/darkwave anthem that features their back and forth vocals. Seriously keep an eye on those two. Their EP should be out soon as far as I know. Can't wait! You can buy "Dark Space" here.
Montoya † - Black Tee
Montoya's latest single "Black Tee" got a lo-fi video treatment. The track, sampling Jeiddn's "Nigths", is a classic emotional witch-wave production. Good stuff, download/buy here.
Ritualz - Policy Of Truth
Another Halloween special comes from Ritualz. "Policy Of Truth" is a cover of Depeche Mode single, which we get here in three formats: post-industrial witch-pop, dragged out edit and sped-up "nightcore" version. The single got a CD release too, apparently limited, so don't sleep on that.
Grab the CD/digital here and stream all three tracks below.
Voodoo Crystals - Mutiny Party
Halloween special from VC comes in shape of a two track single "Mutiny Party". Acid-witch house with a synthpunk soul on "Mutiny" and more industrial spirit on "Party". Sick, make sure to support here. Adam also has a new album out now on Phantasma Disques, but I haven't checked it out yet.
Tracy Widdess - Ethereal Mischief
Tracy Widdess is a visual artist and experimental producer based in Vancouver, Canada. She is probably best known for her "brutal knitting" practise - her textile (art)works have been championed all over the internet for years."Ethereal Mischief" is defacto the first album offered by Vertigo Cult, and what a stunning record it is. Anxiously threading between dream and reality, the album consists of ten compositions that embrace drone, witch house, dark ambient and electroacoustic loops. Feels like an alternative soundtrack to Picnic at Hanging Rock. Dreamy stuff.
Download the LP here, and stream all ten tracks below.
Agent - I'm Voting
In the most intense year for elections around the world, there's no wonder artists will use their platforms to campaign (in one way or another). While lots of neo-fascists are coming out of the woodwork, others, like Astro Nautico's Agent (who may or may not be a side project of label's founder Paul Jones) use their voice to protest. "I'm Voting" is a sick protest song, set somewhere between minimal synthpunk and coldwave. In the graveyard we'll build a mall! Download here.
