V/A - Northern Nightmares III (UNR012)

Long awaited artist under the “Unrealistic Expectations” label, AIRLQD comes with a futuristic and melancholic musical odyssey into an analogue maze of distorted futuristic synth lines, haunting strings and vocal echoes. The “Off Leash" EP, a 5-track album, invites you to wander through the circuitry of fragmented consciousness.

“Off Leash", the eponymous track of the album, sets the tone for the whole album with dystopian psychedelic synthesizers and more aggressive tones followed by the depth of the strings present in the whole album. It’s a close-to-perfect combination with the industrial electro-driven beats. Punk & High Tech, it's AIR LQD in its most dangerous form.

“Our Lengthened Shadows” goes deeper into the heart of the album’s bleak and dystopian melancholic theme, exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of fear. This track, in particular, serves as a sonic exploration of desolation.

"Off Leash" EP is an album that truly challenges the listener's preconceptions about industrial music. Demonstrating the depth and sophistication that can exist within this genre. It’s an enigmatic masterpiece that ventures into the realms of darkwave, minimal synth and post-punk. Brought to life under the banner of the "Unrealistic Expectations" label.

In the uninspiring corners of open-space offices, and administrative work, some employees find a space for resistance and creativity through subversion and sabotage, against the anger generated by the neutral and cruel absurdity of the corporate environment.

In this compilation, Nice Guise engages with transpersonal subjects such as mental health, work place abuse and sexuality. For the past two years, while touring through Brussels with their abrupt live performance, Nice Guise has been fostering collective experiences where repressed personal emotions get to be shared on the dancefloor.

Nice Guise crystallizes their ongoing activity with the collection Candid shots. Like an aggregate in the orbs of the post-punk movement and the remnants of the Dada avant-garde, the band presents studio sessions, concert recordings, and sonic residues on the same level, thus making poor material their inspiration.

Release date: 26th October, 2023.

Premiere: Nice Guise - Flamand Rose [ESITU Records]

[PE11] PI11 by JK Flesh @jk-flesh
Pre-orders available now: https://jkflesh.bandcamp.com/album/pi11-11

------
Justin K. Broadrick returns to Pi Electronics with his second full EP under the moniker "JK Flesh”.
This latest release also features a remix by the German industrial techno legend, Ancient Methods.

Diverging from his previous offering, "PI04," PI11 unveils JK Flesh's real slow burners— a crossover between industrial and dub-techno.
Broadrick’s mastery in industrial music meets his dub influences, resulting in meticulously crafted organic textures and relentless, tormenting dub-leaning techno beats. This EP is for those who appreciate music that unfolds gradually and rewards patient listeners.

Ancient Methods' take on PI11.2 is a demonstration of his distinctive and trademark sound, perfectly transforming the depth of the original track into an industrial techno banger.

The 11th instalment of the Pi Electronics EP series brings together two titans of industrial aesthetics: a UK musician boasting four decades of cross-genre music-making and one of the scene's most respected DJs and producers.
The record comprises three original tracks, along with the remix, pressed onto 180-gram black vinyl, including an A5 insert. Additionally, two digital extra originals complement the physical release, providing a comprehensive sonic journey through Broadrick's work.

Club music culture necessarily shifted gears in many ways during and after the course of the pandemic. Older participants found their way into other interests and younger participants took new reigns to orient spaces they felt good inside of. The agenda for the music, and the cultural industry surrounding it at large, took a more frivolous and “fun” turn. Clubs needed to recoup lost money, people needed more refreshing catharsis for their nightlife escape, and in some pockets scattered around the globe a newer and younger cadre of producers/promoters/DJ’s pulled optical cues from a scattering of “darker” influences to give an alternate aesthetic to the aforementioned “vibes” culture. In the midst of this, a large polarization of conceptual energy shifted within the compositional and utilitarian machinations of the club music culture leaving behind the brooding and cerebral placeholders for a different kind of enjoyable hedonism. Terrestrial Paradise’ “Artificial Hell” harkens to another prescient time before that shift occurred. “Artificial Hell’ might just be an illustration of what all of this fun escapism encapsulates.

Terrestrial Paradise is the latest moniker from Montreal come Los Angeles based producer Jaclyn Kendal. Having developed and cemented her sonic positionality with releases on North American labels like Ascetic House and Summer isle over the years, as well as a series of monolithic live sets, Bank is pleased to announce Kendal’s Terrestrial Paradise first full length album “Artificial Hell”. Over the course of nine recordings, “Artificial Hell” gives a master class in pressurized industrial techno of the slower variety. Fitting with the legacy of Bank’s output since it’s inception, Terrestrial Paradise’s aesthetic sensibilities sit within the canon of a certain tinge of club music imbued with a sense of natural grit, sans pretense.

“Artificial Hell” nods to artists like Scorn, Regis, and 400 PPM while maintaining it’s own territory in the landscape of cerebral and brooding rhythmic techno. Ominous, mechanistic drones sit above succinctly exacted percussion composition and sound design. Throughout “Artificial Hell”, Kendal shows her proficiency with the push and pull of building and releasing tension. On tracks like “Salvation” and “Relativity” she melds her synth wash wallscapes with driving percussion, serving as both a hint and counterpoint to the the entirety of the latter part of the album taking on spartan ambient compositions as a way to keep the listener in a subdued stasis. This album is a statement piece from a long time participant in the North American underground music sectors. It reminds the listener through perilous, considered rhythms and darker drone impositions to cement themselves back into a place where not everything is always a good time.
