• Brazilian goth /synth-punk /minimal-darkwave project of Kyara Jereissati from Ceará, RATPAJAMA “Heaven” from the sophomore album “Ego Death” on Deepland Records
  

The gripping second album from Brazilian darkwaver Ratpajama, comprised of the previous four singles along five new songs, rambles and throbs frenetically amid a cold yet soul-stirring concoction of powerful mechanical drum machines, resounding bleak bass lines, and ominous melancholic icy synth melodies ignited by bewitching haunting female vocalizations to breath deep pain and alienation, bringing the frantic electropunk energy into wider nuanced dimensions of both intriguing and danceable, dazzling sonic darkness to get completely lost in.

• Philly‘s dark post-punk goth rocker (FKA Lord Travvis), NIGHT RITUAL “Simplicity” new single from the forthcoming album ‘UNBECOMING’                                                                                                                       

As usual poignant and compelling Americana-dusted, bitter and melancholic dark ballad steeped in grief and utter desperation. Abrasive sparkling guitar melodies ring dire moods to prickle chilling pain through steady swaying rhythms, hearty pin-point bass lines, and deep soulful male vocals’ hopeless breathes of dark nihilism to beautifully freeze even the warmest of hearts. 

• Iranian born minimal synth solo female electronic project of Tushna Pirrongelli based in Miami, NINA BELIEF “Curami” (CCCP cover)
  

Faultless synth-driven cover of one of the hits of Berlin-born Italo punks CCCP, possibly the most important, original and cultural resonant Italian bands from the 80s.
Miami based synthetist swathes it with nostalgic icy synth chimes and obsessive buzzing swirls, pumped by bouncing bassline and lashing beats, while dynamic intoxicating breathless vocals’ inject a dizzying modern electro feminine twist into the mix. A song from 1986, lyrically absolutely topical infused of the visceral desire to have someone close to us, who heals our wounds, and protects us, while helping ourselves reciprocally to cope from future threats.
