Make a change . . Kill yourself

Australian artist musician Marc Dwyer aka Buzz Kull has been a prominent figure on the darkwave & minimal synth scene for over a decade now with acclaimed albums on labels such as Italy's Avant! For Curses new compilation Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX, Dwyer has offered up an exclusive unreleased cut, A Place That's Meant To Be, that perfectly captures the spectral landscape his music inhabits where distanced vocals glide over ice cold synth pads, oscillating arpeggios and a metronomic beat to deadly effect.

Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX

Buzz Kull - A Place (That’s Meant To Be) [Eskimo Recordings]

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.

Deux - Sex And Trouble

Coldwave / darkwave debut album by San Fransisco based producer Gabriel Ramos.

While the band has gone through a few lineup changes Ssleeping Desiress has essentially remained the brainchild of Gabriel Ramos, who is now the sole member. Ssleeping Desiress is certainly a gem in the electronic underground, the album runs along the boundaries between minimal synth, coldwave, and electro with lyrical themes being gentrification, coping with death, artistic drive and confusion and the ephemeral nature of relationships.

The only Ssleeping Desiress release so far was the great A Voice / Sister 7inch on the FlexiWave label in 2012. They also appeared on numerous new new wave compilations in the last couple of years. The self-titled album presented here takes the project to the next level. Kicking off with an echoing voice over repetitive drums and outbursts of synths & guitars, slowly moving towards a more darkwave sound on the second half of the album.

Gabriel Ramon started making solo recordings while living in Portland, Oregon around 2005. Being inspired by the culminating factors of the DIY drive of the city, hosting live shows at his house, which frequently would host friends' bands from San Francisco and his growing fascination and voracious consumption of music: "I can really trace it to the first time Spector Protector played at my house and getting a tape afterwards from one of the two members, Eric Davis. That and being freshly exposed to groups like Suicide and Arthur Russell was very inspirational to begin recording music on my own, though it is something I had done fairly aimlessly since high school. I make an effort and try and change my process as much as I can (usually through collaboration) and vary the instrumentation. I try and incorporate a late 70s punk vibe, a marriage of dub and krautrock repetition and cavernous space. Definitely not always successful but that is what is usually running through my head when I create music for this band."

MNQ 071 Police Des Moeurs - Ceux Qui Restent LP / 2xLP

*** First 250 copies will be released as a double LP edition, with the add of the ‘Punk Tape’ LP, previously released on cassette by Runstate. The second LP contains covers of Chron Gen, Reagan Youth, The Headcoatees, Trotskids, Antisect, Anti-Cimex, Rudimentari Peni and Ludwig Von 88. ***

Montréal synth punk quartet Police Des Moeurs returns on Mannequin Records with a brand new full length  entitled “Ceux Qui Restent”, the most dynamic and incendiary record of the group’s career, following the highly-acclaimed self-titled release from 2013.

While the first effort was mostly about how we're all separate from each others, the second one is all about to getting over it and trying to fight it. As vocalist and synth player Francis Dugas explains: “most of the new LP is about links, love and caring (in PDM style, obviously). The title is «Ceux qui restent», which means «Those who stay» or something like that. Ceux qui vivent la tempête jusqu'au bout.”

Still raw, but more direct and minimal than first LP, two tracks feature Pete from Dekoder on bass guitar.

Police des moeurs - Première Neige

Geneva Jacuzzi - "Casket"

In one of my eyes, want it to be great
They’ve stolen your mind and fallen away
It’s easy to fake

They can’t play for your love
The black snow, oh we don’t know
We can’t follow.

Have you ever been crucified?
All we know is your suicide

Never imaged you'd want to be great
