I moved to Vancouver in 1984, and this was on repeat during that oh so moody, and very wet first winter there.

In high school, I discovered Bauhaus, Love & Rockets, and Tones on Tail…
The Album Pop is amazing. I collected all the crazy colored-vinyl 12” records.
Of all their songs, from goofy to darkly magnanimous, I love this one the best. So many cool elements – the bleeps, the low droning synths, the backwards stuff, the bassline, the reverse-reverb vocals… they all add up to a seriously epic masterpiece…

She said, Time to crush this feeling
Writing very long letters as soon as it rains
Ooh the rain

To dance the night away
He watches topless pin-up faces
A million different jackpots
With a thousand different gazes
Ooh the rain

But it’s time to crush this feeling
As soon as it rains
Ooh the rain

But it’s time to crush this feeling
As soon as it rains
Ooh the rain . . .

Ancient Astronaut vs Powell - SSCS (Powell's 'Lift Off' Mix)

Tempers' cover of Suicide's iconic "Ghost Rider" - released ahead of their upcoming US and EU tour dates November 2024. 

On the track, Golestaneh said "Suicide was a formative influence on Tempers, and for me 'Ghost Rider' is a song that represents prioritizing the health of society over personal greed, a value that is as deeply pertinent today as it was in the 70's when this song was released."

Tempers interpretation of "Ghost Rider" expresses its spirit of angst and alienation, via gritty and hypnotic soundscapes propelled by Golestaneh’s unleashed ethereal vocals. The track features detuned harp  by guest musician Marilu Donovan (LEYA), acoustic and electric guitars, synth and drum machine. 

Produced by Golestaneh, "Ghost Rider" was recorded at home in New York’s East Village, together with Tempers’ touring musician Henry Yuliano playing additional instruments, recording and mixing.

The song anticipates a run of festival and headline dates starting from Seattle Nov 7 and expanding to Europe, with more touring in the US, South America and Europe confirmed for 2025.

Ghost Rider (Suicide Cover)

Hypnosphere explores the surreal, fragmented realm of sleeplessness.
The theme centers around sleep or the haunting absence of it.
Each track captures the haze of exhaustion, the ebb and flow of hallucinations, and the desperate craving for rest that never comes.
It's an intimate journey through the mind's twilight, where the line between dream and waking life dissolves into an otherworldly soundscapes.

After some acclaimed productions on Unknown Precept, PRR!PRR! and Mannequin Records, we are really excited to announce 'Laugh Tool', the debut full-lenght of Maoupa Mazzocchetti, pseudonym of Florent Mazzocchetti, young and talented French producer based in Brussels.

Maoupa Mazzocchetti is finally bringing back to life the earlier days of electro-industrial, in a mixture that is very close to the late 70's/early 80s period of Fad Gadget, Throbbing Gristle, Portion Control, Cabaret Voltaire and Front 242, crossed with the more fresh and innovative deep electronic experiments of Beau Wanzer and Charles Manier. Strongly addicted to a DIY ethic, and so to a punk ideology and anticonsumerism, most of Florent's releases are recorded in his bedroom without any professional equipment, using analog synth and sequencers, modified drum machines, tape loops and a load of pedal effects.  

Florent started to experiment with the rhythm since his early age. Developing a passion for the drums at the age of 10 years, soon after he  was moving to rock records and guitar, which became his instrument and one of the keystones of his perception of music. Florent approach with rhythm and drums was never traditional, making him feeling more a researcher than a musician.
 
To an audience of contemporary electronic music consumers, who had only closely followed techno, electro and disco, the sounds of 'Laugh Tool' will appear unearthly, entirely unexpected, withering comets of strangeness. A 10 tracks album ready to change their minds..

Limited edition of 500 copies.
