Belgrado - Intra Apogeum

The "Goths For Palestine" compilation made me check out other releases by one of my highlights there—Belgrado—and I'm so glad I did. The band is based in Barcelona and fronted by Polish vocalist Patrycja Proniewska, giving their songs a unique vibe that brings to mind Polish coldwave movement from the 1980s. the album "Intra Apogeum" came out last year, thanks to the ever-amazing La Vida Es Un Mus Discos, and it is truly a sonic time machine, wonderful minimal record that channels elements of post-punk, aforementioned cold wave and elements of gothic synth-pop. Love it.

You can still buy it on limited vinyl here. If you want to listen to it before, check out the playlist down below.

V.A. - Goths For Palestine

"Goths For Palestine" is a grassroots project organised by Finnish darkwave musician Suzi Sabotage, featuring 30 songs from various artists around the globe. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to Anera, a charity providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians. The compilation showcases incredible versatility in styles and genres, ranging from goth rock (duh) to darkwave, coldwave, post-punk, new wave and more! Some of my favourite cuts are Belgrado with "Rytmy Wszechświata", The Spoiled's "Time", blackened post-punk from Scary Black, minimal "El Planeta Enfermo" from Fatamorgana, and Ghost Cop's "Before the Flood". Awesome stuff in every aspect.
