• 𝑯𝑶𝑹𝑹𝑶𝑹 𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑾 #38 MADMOIZEL                                                                                                                             

Paris-based ace composer, performer and producer wanders back and forth seamlessly from the ’80s to this day, showing the usual artistry, we are accustomed to.

• Belgium-based cold analog synth one-man project of Jan Vinoelst (Cluster M13, Messier 39), Cryptochroma “My Made Up Friend” single
  

Industrial-inflected intense and atmospheric new single from Belgian cold synth act,  shrouded in oppressive and menacing glooms, driven by a mechanical drum machine and ominous churning low ends, charged by treacherous droning riffage, whilst edgy lustrous synths, swirl and drift desolately around a strained emotional, at times sinister, vocal, brooding in haunted memories to evoke loneliness and dread.

• German Goth /Dark Wave duo of Tina Mar & Stefan Scott, aka Caput Medusae “Eerie Dance” from the upcoming debut album, “You Can’t Negotiate With Zombies”
  

Dreamy and atmospheric new vision from the German darkwavers arouses warm ceremonial reedy organ-like swells woven with a ghostly romantic male-female vocal interplay dancing somberly in eerie shadowy realms, blazed by poignant glistening guitar melodies, in a trance-like, thoughtless rapture of velvety sensuality and hopeless desire.

• Glasgow, UK shoegaze /new wave /post-punk duo Vacant Pavements “Pripyat Love Song” second single from the upcoming debut EP, “The Cost of Complacency”
  

Evocative ’80s-tinged second ever single from the newcomer English Post-punk duo wrapped in the bristling restlessness of an obsessive wandering web of achingly effect-laden sparkling guitar lines, punctuated by metronomic swishing drum machines, bleak humming bass pulses and spectral synthesizer washes, echoing with high-pitched intensity around deep heartfelt romantic vocals, letting a friend know, “I will always be there.”
