Glaring - Vanth

Glaring - Paralyzed (Demo)

Quand j’entends ta voix, je ne sais plus si tu es un démon ou un ange, ni si je le saurai un jour… » 
 
La rencontre c’est ce moment ou l’on se demande si elle apporte le bonheur ou le chaos, « Dengel » serait comme une symphonie electro / pop captivante où  les voix s’entremêlent et l'amour et la crainte peuvent danser en harmonie.

Turbulence

“In a reality where the sun is neon and the streets are lit with lasers…where the message of love is communicated through soaring synths and haunting vocals, you’ll find the music of Causeway”

American synth-wave project, Causeway, is the brainchild of Marshall Watson and Allison Rae. Through sophisticated downbeat melodrama, lyrical motifs of isolation, and an ultra-vivid wall of sound, the two bring a sizzling synth-laden take on the dream wave genre. Coming to the fore with support from Italians Do It Better, Causeway released their first full length album We Were Never Lost to immediate acclaim, soon landing spots in tv shows Never Have I Ever, and Riverdale.

Fast forward to the here & now and they’ve returned with an updated sound and a new label relationship with Manchester’s Sprechen, on which their new album ‘Anywhere’ is welcomed to the fold.

The enigmatic duo has brought forth a reverb drenched cosmic journey across 10 tracks. Where narratives of dark & light are conveyed via emotional synthesizer soundscapes alongside captive melodies and ethereal vocals to take you on a diverse and cinematic listening experience.

Hints of post punk, new wave and 80’s noir run throughout the album where influences such as The Cure, Cocteau Twins, OMD and New Order are embraced by Causeway’s own unique sonic stylings of electronic music neatly wrapped around each track.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Doctrina Natura - Meltdown [LL014]

Third summary compilation Cultro Sub Costa released by Prague based industrial/noise/techno crew Wrong follows up the first two tapes Suspicion of Doubt (2017) and Occasions to Sin (2018) and now represents the 2019-2024 timeframe. Old tracks meet new ones, foreign names meet local artists and genres clash on this double tape. 

A side starting with dreamlike intro nervousness of Bernardino Femminielli setting up the tone, followed by feverish ASMR trap-trip of Okitap, Oil Thief’s groovy synth-noise, dirty punk-electro cuts of Kabal and HANGMAN, Swordsmith’s heavy cyber dancefloor mover and closing with Vein Data and his overdrive guitar electro ballad.

Side B is filled with abstraction and weirdness and opening with cinematic industrial ambient of Amethyst, then turning tides into more rhythmic territory with occult vibe of Espectra Negra, lo-fi hypnotic synth drama of Christophe Clébard, screwed rhythmic madness of Carrageenan and ambient melancholy of Kult Masek.

Side C starts by No Nation dealing power electronic blow, with following tight electro rumble of JNKR, Blush Response with his sharp and hasty broken techno, Filmmaker’s dirty grind, Ireen Amnes with her synth driven coldness, trancy tragic of Destruction Derby and EBM goes trance track by HKKPTR.

Compilation is closing on side D with last two guests: STATIQBLOOM and his apocalyptic techno monster and Zuzana Hakl with speed electro dizzyness. And apart from them the last side belongs to Wrong crew: HYΛEN, Trauma, C4AT and The Undertaker’s Tapes.

LYRICS

[The Crime]
In the velvet wavelength
I don’t feel so blue
Let the ocean take you
You don’t have to choose

Sleeping through the daytime
Wake up to the moon
Nothings gonna hurt you 
They’re just passing through


[spacedout]
I can feel the colors breathe
Seeping in my skin I feel alive
Feeling lost I think I'm dead, dead
Grim reaper took away my life
I can feel it now baby 
The world is in my hands
I know, I know I can't look back 
I can't stop now

Eyes fill my room 
They whisper their song
They stare back at me
We dance all night long
Crystal demon in my room 
The scythe has my name
It tells me “It’s okay, be not afraid”

[The Crime]
In the velvet wavelength
I don’t feel so blue
Let the ocean take you
You don’t have to choose

Sleeping through the daytime
Wake up to the moon
Nothings gonna hurt you 
They’re just passing through

[spacedout]
Eyes fill my room 
They whisper their song
They stare back at me
We dance all night long
Crystal demon in my room 
The scythe has my name
It tells me “It’s okay, be not afraid”

Cybershot

INTHEWELL

looking around ,look in the mound
listen the sound roam in the town
walk like a cat in a old trap
knees scratched by the ancient game

then climbed the wall throwing the stones
against an enemy now ghost

the fleeting figures wandering 
in togas among the broke ruins
like millions spirits ,kindred flee
now insist their saga in us so weak

but only stone and stories speak
only unknown portraits now still .
a dream that hovers like a fog
between us and the modern world

a love observe the inanimate
already takes a sacrifice,

looking a the fight looking that  fly
I see a monster in the sky

The empire in a nameless closet

Trust in me

I don’t know if I’m human  
I don’t even know what it means to be 
Human anymore  
Falling off the world 
I don’t think I can do it  
I just really can’t believe 
That we’re still fighting a war 
Same shit as before 

I know it’s something special 
Just part of the plan 
If we’re going somewhere 
Then I’d like to understand  
It’s nothing special  
Just part of the show 
If we’re going nowhere  
Then I’d really like to know 
I get impatient 
It’s part of the ride 
In the many places 
Where the fear often resides 
I’ve got so much running through my head 

I don’t know if I’m human  
I can only know what it means to be 
Helpless and afraid 
Of the world we made 
What the hell are we doin? 
I just really can’t believe 
That we fucked it up so bad 
Only chance we had  

I know it’s something special 
Just part of the plan 
If we’re going somewhere  
Then I’d like to understand 
It’s nothing special  
Just part of the show 
If we’re going nowhere  
Then I’d really like to know  
There’s nothin’ to it 
Keep living the lie 
In a broken system  
That could care less if we die 
There is so much we could do instead 

I’m through 
Playing the game to lose 
Paying the same ol’ dues 
What’s it take to be human?
Don’t know what is true 

We’ve devised 
Complicated lives, 
Enterprise, 
Convoluted lies and enemies 
Idolize, 
Comfortably blind, 
Compromised, 
Careful with your time and energy 

I know it’s something special 
Just part of the plan 
If we’re going somewhere 
Then I’d like to understand
It’s nothing special  
Just part of the show 
If we’re going nowhere 
Then I’d really like to know 
I’m not impartial 
I know where I stand 
I can’t tell if anybody 
Really gives a damn 
And I don’t know what else could be said 

I’m through 
Playing the game to lose 
Paying the same ol’ dues 
What’s it take to be human?
Don’t know what is true 

We’ve devised 
Complicated lives, 
Enterprise, 
Convoluted lies and enemies 
Idolize, 
Comfortably blind, 
Compromised, 
Careful with your time and energy

L.F.T. returns to Mechatronica with his unique, signature blend of new wave and breakbeat influenced electro for the mind, body and floor.

Boldly shaped by distorted drum machines, gut-wrenching grooves and haunting vocal chops, the KeyGenerator EP comes backed by an explosive IMOGEN remix and an occult collaboration with Cardinal & Nun.

A spellbinding record on its own, and another crystal clear testament to L.F.T.’s razor sharp sonic vision and ability to generate new styles from the past, present and future.

Solo DIY project from Seattle USA

Break
See me when I snap
fucking freak
I'm angry all the time
watch me shriek
at a hill i can't climb
cause i'm weak
beat myself stupid
the bruises on my wrist
the throbbing in my head
the problems i can't fix
my futures dead
ambition adrift
I live for nihil
I work for nihil

i'm a burden on my self
a burden on my friends
a burden on this earth
that's all i know
I will struggle my whole life for a roof on my head
for a stone on my grave
for food in my gullet

Self harm
self hate 
can't escape it
hyperventilating cant shake it
Black vision
faint standing
brain is ill
cant function
always crying
stagnant still
Painful body
why bother trying
world is evil
no redemption 
it all accumulates on my weak self
my brain cant stimulate
already in hell

I wrote all of these songs while visiting family in Florida in December 2023. They were all written in Drop D tuning, my first official exploration into alternate tuning The lyrics are all centered around the first phrases that came to mind when I wrote the riffs, except for “Dave’s Red Couch” which includes lyrics I originally wrote in 2013. I really like repetitive lyrics, but I know most people hate them. On this EP I decided to lean into this repetition, in many ways to represent the way one’s brain can focus on repetitive thoughts and phrases when you’re stuck in a certain mood or emotional state. With that being said, I promise to take my lyrical content more seriously moving forward.

This EP is a successor to Mattress 4 U from 2022. It’s a step closer to the psychedelic space pop that I originally set out to make over a decade ago. In that vein, I recorded all of these parts myself. I started by isolating myself in upstate New York in early 2024. There I laid down most of the parts to each song before returning to Brooklyn in the spring to finalize each track. I was also watching a lot of movies during this time, and this inspiration had a big impact on the recording process. Hopefully you can hear some of that inspiration and isolation in the songs. 

All parts written, recorded, mixed and mastered by Nicholas Comaratta

Acid-Iced, Vol. 2 marks the long-awaited continuation of a story that began in 2019 with the release of its first volume on T4F Records, featuring four raw and electrifying acid techno tracks. Originally planned as a two-part project, the second volume remained unreleased when the label decided not to move forward with its six remaining tracks. Now, after five years, the artist has taken the reins to deliver this vibrant sequel independently. Acid-Iced, Vol. 2 stays true to its roots, blending hypnotic acid lines and powerful grooves, a testament to the enduring allure of acid techno.
