Recht Auf Rausch - Das Ende Dieser Welt

I omitted vocals from this because of Valor Kand's recent support for Elon Musk, after everything Musk has said and done.

Five years after their debut tape "Fairytape" (also on Kitchen Leg records) is time for the new, awaited music output from the Berlin/Dresden duo The Shna. The title is "Ciao Ciao" and the songs are again excellent! This time the focus on their music is more of weird pop and electronics, but still organic, vibrant and unique as before.

About the Shna: Double-voice meets Drums (Alam Weber) and Bass (Lina Walde). Sounds like Grunge, Indie, Pop, Riot Grrl and some own inventions. 7/8 meet 4/4 beats and Gertrude Stein-poetry neo-collages.

The Moment

She Lies - I Am Out - Exlove Records

Nuclear Digital Transistor's latest EP, 'GHOST PAIN,' marks a significant evolution for the Bogotá-based new wave and post-punk band. Departing from their electronic club music roots, the band forges a captivating, band-centric sound that harkens back to classic radio while maintaining their signature avant-garde essence. The three-track EP delves into profound themes and emotions, offering a transformative musical journey.

The opening track, 'Ghost Pain,' sets the tone by exploring the profound sensation of loss, akin to the feeling of a missing part after an amputation. Here, the band skillfully weaves a narrative that delves into the spiritual and emotional experience of losing an intrinsic part of oneself. The music encapsulates a haunting resonance, mirroring the emotional vacuum one experiences when a part of their identity is severed.

Following suit, 'Darkmode' ventures into the desolation of the human experience—far from home and disconnected from the world, cloaked in the shadows of the soul. The track evokes a poignant sense of isolation and introspection, delving into the abyss of solitary thoughts and emotions.

The EP culminates with 'Replicas,' a track that serves as a metaphorical journey. It explores the potential healing of 'Ghost Pain' through the alteration of memories and emotions via technology and cerebral implants. The song posits a contemplative outlook on how, through technological intervention, one might find a means to transcend and ultimately leave behind the haunting specter of pain.

Nuclear Digital Transistor demonstrates a profound musical and thematic maturity with 'GHOST PAIN.' The EP showcases the band's ability to craft emotionally rich narratives while embracing a more classic band-oriented sound. Through their exploration of loss, isolation, and the potential for technological healing, the band invites listeners on a transformative sonic odyssey that lingers long after the EP ends.

Feedback

If we can bear to see the lie,
we can bear to see him cry.
If we can turn a blind eye,
we can dig our own grave.

Thinking fast and feel the pain?
or think it twice and feel great?
Thinking fast and feel the pain?
or think it twice?


Touching a slug with no sense of touch,
sucking a pig with no sense of taste,
hearing you speak to a deaf man,
watching you dance to a blind man.

Thinking fast and feel the pain?
or think it twice and feel great?
Thinking fast and feel the pain?
or think it twice?

Think It Twice

PREMIERE : Gneiss (@gneiss-music) - No Room For Empathy [CSC Records] (@csc-records)

Gneiss is a French electronic music producer. He draws his inspiration from the sensibility of ambient music and the creativity of the international electronic scene. Constantly on the move, he crosses genres and shapes a rich and singular musical universe at the crossroads of breakbeat, progressive house and trance...
From an early age, he had the chance to enrich his ears with world music, classical music and experiment with rhythms and melodies on various instruments (drums, piano, bass). It wasn't until he came of age that he discovered synthesizers and production, to which he devotes much of his free time.
Having settled in Brest a few years ago, he discovered a powerful buzz around electronic music in the west of Brittany. This gradually enabled him to confirm himself and start performing in public, in DJ sets and live with his machines, in venues such as Cabaret Vauban and La Suite.

No Room For Empathy

PREMIERE : Gneiss - No Room For Empathy [CSC Records]

Milky's Way Out

Trystero comprises Scottish/Luxembourgish producer Thomas Lea Clarke (aka MR TC) and Low Bat, otherwise known as one half of the formidable duo Jean-Luc. Their debut album, Sfumare e Vedere, was conceived over three days aboard Urban Boat, a 1960s barge transformed into an arts and performance space. Moored along the river just outside of Paris, the duo embarked on a joint residency, discovering their complementary creative energies and a mutual passion for all things strange and psychedelic.

As frontman, Low Bat is a fire-powered poet, his unparalleled stage presence resonating through Trystero's music. The French native and fluent German speaker has a natural flair for languages. For this project, he sings in a combination of Italian and English about love, loss, and class struggle, constructing surreal wordplay about pelicans and puttanesca. Meanwhile, Clarke's drone-lead electronic accompaniment takes its cues from sizzling acid, 1990s snap rhythms, post-punk, krautrock and shoegaze. Firmly rooted in these tripped-out genres, Trystero journeys to entirely new cosmic dimensions.

On stage, the project consists of drums, a sampler, and vocals. Shlomo handles the drums alongside sharp synthesizers, while Kleio delivers powerful vocals reminiscent of a professional boxer. Expect a fusion of DAF and Kleenex with a hardcore edge.
