Exome & Halba - Waste Of Life

Crushing noise album from Exome and Halba. Whirlwind of textures, samples and sonic dust from start to finish. I hate boring noise records, this ain't it. Out now via Phage Tapes on CDR and digital. Stream here.

Harsh R - Seek Comfort

Harsh R is an experimental solo output of Avi Roig from Olympia, WA who released his music on New York Haunted and Reclusion Records in the past. His latest album "Seek Comfort", which premiered February 3rd, found its home at Phage Tapes and ended up being pressed on a limited edition vinyl. Described as "an album about disappearing and being disappeared", the LP is a noisy collage of post-industrial raw emotions, EBM-influenced beatmaking, synthpunk attitude, coldwave minimalism and dark synth-pop melodies. But it's the unexpected sax popping up in "Art You My People?" that steals the show for me. That being said, "Hiding Place" is such a banger, I've had it on repeat for days now, adrenaline shot. Make sure to also visit Avi's instragram page, his photos from various hiking excursions are just breathtaking.

Ye Gods - Babalon Works

This one came out of nowhere tbh, or maybe it's my music radar that's being clogged with mediocre stuff lately. Anyway, Ye Gods is back with a new LP! Exciting times, after that sick split with Sacred Lodge last year. "Babalon Works" came out on December 2nd via Phage Tapes on vinyl in multiple limited editions, if you have FOMO problems, this one may be triggering. The album itself is a collection of cold beats that channel ghosts of industrial past, electronic body music mutations and skeletal remains of electro, house and techno. It takes a while to get into it, but once you do, replay button will be your friend.

The album is out in digital format on Ye Gods bandcamp here, or on vinyl from the label here. Stream after the jump.
