Teenage Iceage (Wunschmaschine Edit)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Silver Tears, the new duo composed by Curses and Skelesys. They surf through the dark waves with their new track “Always Shine (Wait For The Rain)”, splashing echoes of early Sisters Of Mercy and hints of The Cure's 'Faith' guitars injected with ethereal melancholic vocals in a haunting search for love. 

The track comes off "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX", the second compilation meticulously curated by the Berlin-based musician and DJ Luca Venezia, known as Curses, in collaboration with legendary Eskimo Recordings. This sonic adventure hovers into the edgier realms of club music, unearthing its darker facets. Spanning across three CDs and three 2LPs, "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX" boasts an impressive collection of 49 tracks, connecting the pioneering industrial sounds of Throbbing Gristle, EBM legends like Nitzer Ebb and the post-punk experiments of people like Malcolm McLaren and Big Audio Dynamite with some of the most exciting artists around today, such as Boy Harsher, Nuovo Testamento and Years of Denial.

I know it rains
On top of my pain
There'll come a day
When it fades away

I'll prevent waking up on the street
Stop what I'm doing and all in between
Pick a flower
Then I'll see what you mean
I won't think I'm crazy if I still believe

Close
My
Soul
I know
It's hard to grow, grow

When I expose
Feelings under my nose
It's hard to let go
When my love's closed

I won't kiss my life goodbye
It's going to be all right
But I'll never forget
This ugly time

I'll prevent waking up on the street
Stop what I'm doing and all in between
Pick a flower
Then I'll see what you mean
I won't think I'm crazy if I still believe

Close
My
Soul
I know
It's hard to grow

When I expose
Feelings under my nose
It's hard to let go
When my love's closed

I won't kiss my life goodbye
It's going to be all right
But I'll never forget
This ugly time

I won't kiss my life goodbye
It's going to be all right
But I'll never forget
This ugly time
Believe

Close
My
Soul
I know
It's hard to grow, grow, grow
It's hard to grow, grow, grow

Surviving The Struggle

Some things just make sense and we’re pleased present the first collaboration of 2 of our favourite artists : RED AXES & C.A.R. 
This release has been a long time coming. Tracks were first exchanged back in 2014 and it’s been an organic, intuitive process. Like-minded musically & likeminded lyrically - Red Axes & C.A.R. seem to work the same way. Recordings happen fast. One or two takes. It’s punk and it’s effortless. 
1960’s, psychedelic 2040 arrived on queue. A sweaty, London-summer evening, after spending the day writing alone out Hackney Marshes, Chloé demo’d the vox. - languid, nostalgic, at arm’s reach from the city - the track depicted the moment perfectly. A paper thin Victorian wall separating her from the chatting neighbours, she shut her eyes and got as close to the mic as possible. 
A few weeks Red Axes & C.A.R. were together in Tel Aviv. Ten times sweatier than London. To say the studio was dripping hot is an understatement. There was a party heaving in the square below, a van parked in the middle, broadcasting out on the radio waves. Dori was determined to use the intimate London vocals for 2040 and so they cracked on with Incognito, a club track that isn't one but works in its own way: rockabilly reverbs, an almost hip-house delivery, the strange alchemy of 808 fumes. Already inebriated from the city, Chloé had written her words off-cuff in the hotel room, just hours before.
Fastforward a year. Summer 2015. Niv had sent Space Cream a few months earlier - an electronic 4/4 ballad which already featured looped samples of some of the stuff they’d recorded in Israel. Heady and sticky, Chloé had to wait for longer days before she could get anything down.
Finally XMan, descends further down into psychedelia… Perfect for the London winter closing in. Heads filled with Cookie Mueller & memories of losing oneself in dark, basement parties - the words rolled off the tongue. 
Last autumn Red Axes invited C.A.R. down to London’s Pickle Factory to perform Incognito live. During soundcheck she penned some words for a new track they were debuting, which they also ended up doing. It’s an experience synonymous for this collaboration. What comes easy, makes sense.

The new album ‘Another Heaven’ just released with legendary Synth-wave label, Italians Do It Better, co-produced by Johnny Jewel. Curses has also done vocals for Artists such as Âme ('Shadow of Love'), on legendary Berlin-label Innervisions, keeping true to his punk and new wave approach on electronic music. Previous albums released on Dischi and fashion house, Saint Laurent. Curses has brought his unique sound to iconic venues such at DC-10 and festivals like Nuits Sonores and Grauzone, as well his residency at Berlin’s infamous Pornceptual party. Hosting a Monthly radio show, Together Alone, on Rinse FM France, Curses has also released various EP's and singles with labels such as, Oráculo, Bordello a Parigi, Running Back, and Wrong Era.
Curses is responsible for curating the acclaimed vinyl compilation series and party, Next Wave Acid Punx, showcasing a passion for New Beat, Early E.B.M, Post-punk and obscure Italo, which continues to gain a passionate cult following worldwide, including multiple support from BBC Radio 6.

Curses continues to bring a romantic and punk energy to the club, threading the ethereal nostalgia of the 80s and 90s into the future of now.
