STRFLL did this sweet and short mixtape for ₴é₳₦₵Ɇ, highlighting some of their favourite tracks from the last year. Amazing stuff, not much else to say. Download it here.

Wanda Group - A Beast of Condensation

SALEM - Red Dragon

Out of nowhere, Salem released a new (and their first) compilation called "Red Dragon" today. collecting a number of tracks that were floating online for years, dating back to their Myspace era. This huge treat for fans comes with a bittersweet flavour - leaks show that Heather was not informed about this release, which is being sold and streamed on all major platforms. You can check the release here.

Night Foundation - Wrapped Up In Time

Mesmerizing dubby minimalism from Night Foundation.

Brick - Knots In The Willow

AFTA-1 - Divine Space

Bow Church - Mortal // Immortal

Bow Church has just dropped a new, two-track single on Bandcamp. "Mortal" is dope, meant for dark rooms in nightclubs and sci-fi soundtracks. "Immortal" is advertised to appeal to "the synth/ambient nerds", but I bet it will also turn some AFX/IDM heads as well. Buy both tracks here.

Ritualz - Rare Trax IV

I†† - Future Communication

White Columns - Ballet

NC Ives - Ticket To Hiroshima / Chimp Assembladge

Forest Swords - Wasteman

Forest Swords' soundtrack for the movie "Wasteman" is now generously available for free on Bandcamp. Cinematic ambient soundscapes, eerie drones and occasional instruments injected across those 18 tracks make an intense listening experience. Make sure to support!

The album can be downloaded here. Stream in full down below.

Morgue File - Archives 01-02

No audio preview available at the moment. Black Goat Records collected two live performances by Morgue File and put them out on a limited edition tape. You know the deal. For international shipping, cop them here. US-based buyers can save a few bucks here.

Impale Me - Bloodrain

English producer and visual artist Impale Me is a newcomer to the witch house scene. His debut album "Bloodrain" was my first exposure to his music, which he describes as "noise-influenced witch-house art pop". Across ten tracks, he weaves a web that joins lo-fi witch house production with a mix of ethereal and hyperpop vocals. Make sure to check out the highlights "Cast A Spell" and "Barbed Wire Kisses".

Cop the album here, and stream it below.

Revenant Widow - I Am The Forest

Revenant Widow is the latest alias of London-based producer Ahrimanic, debuting with his new composition "I Am The Forest". Eight minutes of suspense and invisible dread lurk behind each trunk you encounter in this drone-folk forest - that's the image that forms in my mind when listening to this piece. One for all folk horror fans. Download the track here.

Dog House - Demo Tape 1

Dog House is a new collab between Intestines and his pal Man's Best Friend. Their debut release "Demo Tape 1" began with the idea to make house music, but the result is harsher and more minimal than one might expect. Each track is different, but the overall vibe of this release brings to mind the cold production style of Beau Wanzer. Nice one, one to watch for sure.

Grab the demo here, and stream it below.

Verses GT - Devoted / Curve

Verses GT (Jacques Greene and Nosaj Thing) continue their Burial-esque explorations of bass music with a new single "Devoted / Curve". This one takes me back to the best days of Clubroot. Buy the single here.

Wilting God - Diurnal Blues

Debut album from Orlando, Florida-based musician Wilting God, yet another one of my Reddit finds. "Diurnal Blues" consists of three compositions that sit somewhere between noise ambient and bleepy electronics, with a touch of power electronics thrown into the mix. I really dig the first track "Revealed In Loss", great textures in the second half!

Download the album here. Stream below.

For Lunar Dust - Nothing Lasts Forever

Russian musician For Lunar Dust debuts on Vertigo Cult with the excellent EP "Nothing Lasts Forever". One could make the case that musically it inhabits the same club space as Edith Underground's "Heaven's Night", but is located on a different floor. The opening track "Temporary Heaven" lures you into a place both wonderful and strange with its sleepy noise-ambient soundscape, before the titular song's pulsing beats kick in. "Nothing Really Ends" is a radical acid techno joint that will wake up anyone getting too comfortable - definitely a highlight of the EP. The final two tracks serve as a textured ambient comedowns - ethereal echoes of blissful future ahead. Amazing release!

Spike Hellis - By God

The most zany EBM band is back with a new single, heralding the second album "Successor"! Buy here.

Frostburn - Sun Rotted Mix

Frostburn's fist mix "Sun Rotted Mix", released two weeks ago, is now available for download, so I figured it's worth sharing it here. Interesting melting pop of styles and genres, one to chill for sure. Peep it here.

Sad Madona - Intimacy

"Intimacy" is a new blackgaze single from Parisian wunderkid Sad Madona. Download the track here.

The Ceremonial Dagger - Morbid Curiosities

It's been a while! Vertigo Cult is back with a brand new EP from The Ceremonial Dagger, who disappeared from the Internet over 10 years ago without a word. I'm super stoked we can finally hear some new material from him! "Morbid Curiosities" delivers eight tracks grounded in the industrial and noise tradition, crafted with an old school witch-house spirit of DIY and collaboration. Pepsy delivered a bunch of samples that Dagz expertly flipped, chopped and mixed into his avantgarde take on the genre, blending noir witch house, hardcore kicks and layers of textured noise. Dope, geniune and gritty.

Nadine Hurley - Nadine Hurley

Nadine Hurley is a Twin Peaks-inspired trio from Newcastle upon Tyne, consisting of Alex Venters, Byron Wilson and James Wardle. Their self-titled debut came out last month via Katpis Tapes, delivering five cuts locked somewhere between noisy witch house and trashrave club transmissions. Sort of a new wave CRIM3S, but this comparison may not be fully fair to NH, because they genuinely sound honest and channel raw energy. 100% recommended and definitely worth following.

Tapes are now sold out, but you can get the digital version here. Stream the whole EP below.

Wire Mothers - Ragged Desire

J. H. K. IV - I Am Forgotten/I Am Forgiven

Witcha - Datura

Martyr In The Sand - معجب [Crush]

New Mexican Stargazers - Installation Product

"Installation Product" was originally released as a bonus CDR given away to buyers of tthe "Subterranean Flash Game" vinyl. Now, New Mexican Stargazers has made it available for everyone to enjoy. The album is a 47-minute trip through the forgotten corridors of an Atlantean temple - lo-fi, ambient psych sounds will guide you through this epic collage of retro-futuristic sounds. Amazing stuff.

Brieg Dolberg - Atoll

Brieg Dolberg is a musician and producer from Nantes, France, and one half of the tribal techno unit Dañs Bekabe. "Atoll", his de-facto debut album, was released in February this year and, for some reason, split into two EPs. Nautical house, new-world electronica and leftfield techno are all beautifully blended together across both parts. Listening to them tonight takes me back to Nosaj Thing's "Fated" era, mixed with "The Best Of Turntables On The Hudson" compilation and Monster Rally exotica. At some point, the closing track "Little Stone People" brought to mind old school Timbaland productions, which was such a treat. Good stuff, check it out.

Buy part one here, and part two here. Stream them both below.

Joseph Randolph - Liftoff

Joseph Randolph's "Liftoff" is a neo-medieval downtempo EP that came out a few weeks ago. The leftfield e-trap-m beat on the titular track gets you going, before delicate guitar strumming paired with glitchy ambient takes the foot off the gas on track two. The closing composition "Genius & Irrelevance" delivers some of that A24 cinematic eeriness with its beautiful strings collage.

Get the EP here, stream it after the jump.

Ghost Cop - Trouble Remixed

Ghost Cop invited a bunch of pals to remix tracks from their 2024 album "Trouble". Next to bespoke versions from Spookystack, More Ephemerol, Ye Gods, Dildox, red eyes red, Public Memory and Houses of Heaven, the album also offers two new remixes from Ghost Cop themselves - the whole record is filled to the brim with EBM, minimal darkwave, post-punk and industrial dance music.

Wardog - Stay Pure

Wardog is Dog99 aka Chase from Stay Healthy. His recent name change comes along this rad new track "Stay Pure" - a drum-less celestial ambient manifestation with distorted vocals that sounds both ethereal and post-witch. No download this time, stream here.

Intestines - Young And Retarded

Earlier this month, I blogged about Intestines' album "Organ Country", and on that same day he dropped a new EP titled "Young And Retarded". This three track release showcases him at his peak witchy side, serving up downergaze joints that will definitely appeal to Soulseek collectors of rare SALEM mp3s or early CRAVE recordings. His murky, old-school production sounds great and provides a perfect backdrop for the vocals. Clocking in at just five minutes, the EP serves as an ideal introduction to his body of work. Recommended!

Grab the EP from Bandcamp here. Stream below.

Human Hollow - Could You Feel It Again?

Austin and Lucia returned last month with a new Human Hollow cut "Could You Feel It Again?", but somehow I missed out on it. Electro-rock "song about disintegration", always good to hear those two back. Buy the single here.

Chayn Sloth & Pale Palace - Panic Ride

The Isolation Cult team is back from the booth with "Panic Ride", a catchy rap tune from Chayn that will make you bop your head thanks to Pale Palace's infectious beat. Free download from the Soundcloud vault. Enjoy!
