Voodoo Crystals - Air

Voodoo Crystals is a national treasure of America. Do with this information what you want, but make sure to listen to "Air" before you do. Taking a step back from his staple acid-soaked witch house, this new album invites the listener on a long and rewarding post-ambient journey. Adam manages to smuggle in a few light beats here and there, but mostly it's a joyful collection of zoned-out soundscapes, distant, ghostly chants, and deconstructed lyrics. One could even risk tagging this as hauntology - just check out the track "Tidal". Really good stuff!

You can download the album for free here. Stream it in full after the jump.

Gaap Kvlt - Ain

Back in 2013/2014, I was obsessed with Gaap Kvlt - he's a musician from Poland specialising in crafting atmospheric drone and ritual ambient soundscapes. Somehow, he fell off my radar a good while ago, but today I was pleasantly surprised to find he has a new album out on Bandcamp. "Ain" consists of four long, droning tracks that make me feel like I'm in the middle of some creepy survival horror game, with evil lurking around every corner.

Buy "Ain" here and stream all four track down below.

Suffer Ring - Burrow

Suffer Ring decided to bury themselves under a ton of bass on their latest single "Burrow" - a new-wave nu-metal track that takes cues from '90s alt-genres and mixes them with modern-day post-witch solutions. Freaks on a leash. Also, I just wanted to say thank you to all the artists who include lyrics on their Bandcamp pages. Stream and download "Burrow" here.

Kutmah - Old Ghosts Promo Mix

So Kxxtz has a new beat tape out today called "Old Ghosts", and to mark the occasion, he stitched together a juicy collage of beats that make up the release - all under six minutes. The album was put out by the Austin-based Insect Records, and is available on super-limited 8" lathe-cut vinyl and cassette tapes. Peep the physicals here, and download the mix here.

Dakota Rogers - Your Life Your Days

Debut EP from Dakota Rogers, an alter ego of Ben from the ever-amazing Beauty. Released by All Blurred Out, the three-track release showcases a different side of Ben's production style - while still rooted in witch house, this one leans more towards shoegazing ethereal drag rather than straight-up hip-hop crushers. Each track on "Your Life Your Days" was recorded with a different collaborator (Charlatan, Gough, and Jardine), but Rogers' personality and style is the glue that makes them all sound cohesive and as one. Great stuff, new-wave witch is alive and well.

Buy the EP directly from the label's website. Stream below.

Stay Healthy & Grimoire - Dance4Me (SALEM Cover)

Stay Healthy partner up with Haunted Mound's Grimoire to record this radical, half-acoustic half-banger cover of SALEM's "Dance4Me". THis is way too good to be that short! Stream above (or directly on Soundcloud), I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be downloadable soon.

The New Romantics - It's A Dream (The Nuns)

The New Romantics is back with a brand new synthpop/coldwave jam "It's A Dream", first recorded by The Nuns in 1986. His version is surprisingly similar to the original track, but the vocals add a unique spin to those catchy synth lines. Download here.
