WL//WH - DECEMBER 2020 \\ Post Punk/ Coldwave/ Darkwave/ SynthPop/ Minimal Synth

Dunedin/Melbourne experimental darkwave duo Ov Pain (Tim Player/ Renee Barrance). ‘Excess and Expenditure’ is the first taste off their forthcoming sophomore album The Churning Blue of Noon due for release in 2021. Building on the cold wave, post-punk sound of their debut album, ‘Excess and Expenditure’ sees Ov Pain wade deep into heavier territory enveloping the listener in a languid wave of gothic drone. Barrance’s deadpan vocal radiates in incantation above a dense wall of humming synth and echoing drums, later accented by Player on sax.

Inspired by both the slowness and heaviness of doom bands but without the presence of rock’s holiest instrument, the guitar, Ov Pain weave a soundscape thick and heady. The lyrics spell out a cryptic, largely first-person narrative, that plays the dystopic off against the uplifting. This is a tactic the band makes good use of, on this track, throughout the album and especially performing live. ‘Excess and Expenditure’ distils this tacit experience and presents the tonic in a pop-form bullet. The experience is cathartic rather than depressing. Keeping the listener suspended, floating, not knowing if they are slowly (so slowly) falling or rising.

Noli me tangere

Noli me tangere - Projet Marina (from the 12" Vinyl Album)

The Brvtalist is proud to premiere a new video from New Haunts. The Bristol-based artist returns with "Failing Me", a new single and the first look at her upcoming album set to be released in 2021. Like many of us, the artist was holed up in isolation for much of the year and this song represents the bittersweet necessity of inhabiting the human form. Drawing from wave, synth pop, post-punk and more, "Failing Me" is a heartfelt, melancholic piece which shows why New Haunts is one of our favorite artists to watch. 
The single is out December 4th (along with some new limited merch) and you can get yours on Bandcamp.

New Haunts - Failing Me

Placeholder for the Night

Title:  High Rise
Album:  “In The Realm of Electricity" 
Label: She Lost Kontrol
Format: Vinyl 12'', Digital
Release: February 8th, 2021

The NE-21 return to She Lost Kontrol after their first pitch-perfect 80s dark wave release in 2016. After releasing a collaboration with Donato Dozzy with the project 'Men with Secrets' at the beginning of the year, the duo lands on the label with their new work “In The Realm of Electricity". The album is a collection of 8 tracks composed and recorded between 2012 and 2020 at the Sy6 studio in Boscoreale. The outcome is a perfect blend of synth pop and minimal wave, filled with icy synths, shuddering bass, and anthemic vocals, ranging from mumbled vocoder to arch talk-singing.

Album: singl 2020
cover by Johny Joc
Lyric: Johny Joc

if you think, I will not lie
when freedom is shit
I can't sleep, you know

One day, the sun will end
one guy, he sends death
I can't dream, you won't be sweet
I turn the end before you close
I promise you, I'll lie

D I I S T - No Love

This does not make sense

Ada and Vladimir are @eozdis, a new cold synth band from Russia. Their first piece of work is an impressive 7 tracks EP, composed during a difficult period for both of them. Ada's lyrical composition is inspired by her diary entries. Their music is a beautiful journey, fully charged with raw, touching and intimate emotions, and the musical groove is undeniable.

Felt hypnotized by "Stranger" right away,listening on repeat since then. Don’t miss the full EP !

CORPSE CRUISER

am I?

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
"Merry Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Ohh
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, ooh, now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year we'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Special
