Extra Noir - Singapore Special with GoneMUNE

Last year, South Korea’s Extra Noir asked “What links a mall Santa in Singapore with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak? Scottish bard Robert Burns and Tales from the Crypt? What connects a cry for love in the industrial heart of Seoul with Algernon Blackwood spiking a batch of eggnog?”

The answer, of course, was their Christmas charity compilation, Noël Noir. 

This holiday season, the label has combined some of the best selections from that release with new contributions for a limited-edition cassette. The year’s hottest stocking stuffer contains wintry atmospherics and seasonal spooks from JD Twitch’s ambient alias Tomorrow The Rain Will Fall Upwards, Salamanda, Xander Harris, Jaeho Hwang, Heejin Jang and more.

Get it here: https://extranoir.bandcamp.com/album/no-l-noir-vol-2

Extra Noir Podcast - Episode 1

England’s Hidden Reverse: A Secret History of the Esoteric Underground was originally published in 2003 and quickly went out of print, an annoying but appropriate reflection of its subject matter. The most comprehensive account to date of first-generation British industrial music, the book has recently been given new life by Strange Attractor Press. 

To mark the publication of this updated edition, we’ve put together a special episode featuring the music of Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Current 93 and Nurse With Wound. Numerous characters from England’s Hidden Reverse also appear, including David Keenan himself, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis P-Orridge, David Tibet, Jhonn Balance, Peter Christopherson, Steven Stapleton, Thomas Ligotti, Danielle Dax, Clive Barker, Derek Jarman and William S. Burroughs, along with a cast of confused and indignant inquisitors…

TENGGER - Spiritual (Preview)

The latest release from Extra Noir. An invisible, candy-flavored contagion, Yetsuby's music will burrow deep into your brain, lingering like a benevolent invader. Combining a surreal sensibility with perfect pop hooks, and reflecting Seoul's nocturnal futurism, Heptaprism marks the full-length debut of Yetsuby, one of South Korea's most unorthodox electronic artists.

(EN003) - Yetsuby - Heptaprism (Preview)

We recorded a live, all-vinyl set at Senggi Studio in Seoul for Tengger's Spiritual release party on 14 April. Unfortunately the recording had some technical issues, and wasn't really suitable for use as an episode. We had a lot of the tracks on mp3 already, however, and ripped some other ones from vinyl. This is basically a reconstruction of the set - same playlist, same sequence. Let's call it a digital echo of an analog moment.

We are super excited to announce our latest release, a vinyl edition of Tokyo psychedelic trio Kuunatic's dark and dreamy EP Kuurandia.

We are very excited to share this mix, Sand Cake, that they prepared exclusively for Extra Noir.
