Dark Entries celebrates its 15th anniversary by returning to where it all started, our initial darkest entry: Eleven Pond’s masterpiece Bas Relief, an ultra-obscure album from 1986 that would become a definitive dark pop holy grail. Eleven Pond was James Tabbi (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jeff Gallea (drum machine, synthesizer, vocals), Jack Schaeffer (guitar) and Dan Brumley (synthesizer, samples, vocoder, melodica). They met in Rochester, NY, while attending art school, brought together by their shared love of 4AD and Factory Records. Taking cues from acts like Joy Division, Fad Gadget, and For Against, Eleven Pond’s infectious basslines, churning guitar riffs, and atmospheric synths will charm all fans of moody music. But what really makes Bas Relief shine is the timeless songwriting on classics like “Tear and Cinnamon”, “Portugal”, and the anthemic “Watching Trees.”
With only 500 copies in it’s initial release, Bas Relief resurfaces with a fresh remaster that corrects a pitch shift from previous reissues. Each copy is housed in a screen printed jacket, like the 1986 edition, and includes a lyric sheet, two postcards and a bookmark. Bas Relief is a true lost relic of the cold 80’s and an essential piece Dark Entries history.

THIS IS THE SIXTH UNRELEASED RECORD, COMPOSED IN 2018. THE RECORD ITSELF LEANED INTO A MORE POP FRIENDLY FEEL ON SOME TRACKS BUT I ALSO THINK SOME OF THE STRANGEST SONGS ARE ON THIS RECORD. 

FALLING ANGELS

Croatia´s Le Chocolat Noir debuts on Charlois with four cuts of embittered, EBM inspired, electronics. An EP of contrasts. Wrenching vocals are scored by brash synthlines. slicing snares, countered by a cold and bright hope. Frigid warmth from the heart of Zagreb.

10th November sees Curle Recordings favourites Hiver return to the Belgian label for the release of their latest EP, entitled ‘Air Castles’. 

Since making their debut on the imprint in 2013 with ‘Blue Aconite’, the Italian duo has since released two more EPs on Curle; ‘Same Mistake Twice’ in 2015 and ‘Soundescence’ last year. Since the release of the latter mentioned EP, Hiver have been busy behind the booth, performing in the UK, China, Germany, Holland and, of course, in Italy, where they still hold a residency at DUDE Club. 

Kicking off the EP is ‘Elipse’, a stunning four-minute track that nods to avant-garde artists such as Wolfgang Voigt’s GAS alias or Brian Eno, as the pair gradually weaves several layers of shining, atmospheric tones before slowly fading into the background.

Title-named track ‘Air Castles’ follows, with the tight selection of drums combined with the ebb and flow of soaring synths creating a melodic style of techno that has become synonymous with their name.

Next is ‘Aleutine’, a song that similarly blends Hiver’s characteristically ethereal, hazy synths alongside more vibrant analogue bleeps to great effect. These delicate synths are later given the chance to gleam as the track comes to a close. 

Closing this excellent four-track EP is deep-groover ‘Leisure’, seeing Hiver up the tempo through their clever use of percussive elements, sharp synths and headstrong drums.

‘Air Castles’ EP is available on November 10th on 12” and digitally.

"We are entering an increasingly dangerous period in our history. Our genetic codes still carries the selfish and aggressive instincts that were a survival advantage in the past."- Stephen Hawking
Duro records presents Etcha, an artist already getting love from Dixon and Ame and who is also getting some serious love from Lithuanian maestros the Roe Deers, who have taken the vocal and placed it over a spooky unsettling track which highlights the darkest nature of mankind, while also trying to reassure us that it will be okay (but I am an optimist!) 
The Roe Deers have twisted up Etcha's B Side offering, Stephen Hawking into a paranoid creeper which sneaks into your room at 3am as you sleep to whisper your darkest thoughts into your ear, just to dissapear as you wake up in a cold sweat.
Just as well really, because you should be out finding your local sweatbox or warehouse rave, anywhere playing this because you should be out dancing to this one.

Demo

A Transition feat. Gina S. - En Revanche

This is the original A Visitor From Another Meaning remix of Machinegewehr's 'Abhinanda' from 2012 with female vocals by Gees Voorhees. The original vocals were replaced by Fred Ventura in 2013 and this rework of 'Abhinanda' became 'Neon Light'. This resulted in a split EP: Machinegewehr/A Visitor From Another Meaning with Fred Ventura and became Machinegewehr's debut record which was released on Bordello a Parigi in 2014. After 8 years the original remix with its original vocals by Gees Voorhees has been excavated and so here it is in its full beauty...get it here:
