-Info-

In Death It Ends appearing from nowhere via their YouTube channel “▲TV” on new years eve 2011. The facebook page INDΣΔ†HI†ΣNDϟ appeared to suggest this was some kind of ‘comeback’: A number of albums and cassette releases that appeared to date back as far as 1969. This of course is probably untrue, but many love to play along.

For In Death It Ends is a black mass of contradictions. Combining post-punk guitar and bass with ‘witch house’ iconography. Drum machine beat and loop repetition with drone and euphoric energy. Inappropriately large reverbs with analog echoes, satanic chants and monosynths before casting it all aside and descending into lo-fi oceanic distant murmurings. First creating the micro-genre “Progressive Occult Hipstercore” before discarding it for “Progressive Occult Ghost-Wave” for these things are short lived and there are surely new places to explore.

Six months into their existence, in June 2012 the Berlin based label specialising in cassette tapes Aufnahme und Wiedergabe release In Death It Ends first album, “Forgotten Knowledge“, a limited edition of 100 copies that sell out within two hours of the pre-order announcement. (The album ”Forgotten Knowledge” is due for a reissue on October 12th with pre-orders starting on the 1st October). Some two months later, in August 2012 a self-released CDr “Restorative Art EP” is completed. A slightly more indulgent and downbeat release, limited to just 50 copies. (It sells out within ten minutes of the product release going live). Following on from this, Aufnahme und Wiedergabe announce their first vinyl release [a+w lp001] it will be In Death It Ends 2nd album “Occvlt Machine” scheduled for release in January 2013. In October Aufname und Wiedergabe will re-release the first “Velvet Condom” EP on cassette. It will include a remix of the classic track “Kalter Lippenstift” that has been produced by In Death It Ends. For more details, please click here.

And so to now, TSM are set to release “Manifestations”, a six-track 12″ EP limited edition containing tracks picked by the team at TSM: five of the best from “Forgotten Knowledge” and one track from the “Restorative Art EP“. The launch is scheduled for November 2012. Stay tuned!

The KVB - Never Enough

The KVB - Endless

MNQ 034 VARIOUS - THE END OF CIVILIZATION LP 

Mannequin has the dual and parallel aim to unearth hidden or unpublished gems, running along a road that starts from the period of reference for this kind of music (late 70s – mid 80s) and comes to nowdays, with a vision deeply influence by Factory Records / 4AD labels. 

Catching the same spirit of such great labels, we asked to the italian synth wave princess Mushy to create a compilation starting from a tabula rasa. The mission was hard. Following her tastes and heart, she had to select a dozen of new bands from all over the world with unreleased and unique for this project tracks, picking up the title and realizing the graphic design and artwork. The full process of "The End Of Civilization" took almost 1 year but the result was touching us ￼deep into our soul. 

Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth sound, having both "Faded Heart" (2011) and "Breathless" (2012) as album of the week at Rough Trade. "The End Of Civilization" perfectly represents her double sided synth-wave / kraut-psychedelic soul. Every track she selected for us is an absolute highlight, moving from the analog minimal / cold wave sounds of Police Des Moeurs, ASSS, The Circa Tapes, TEEEL and Rosemary to the tempestuous post punk and psychedelia of Deathday, The Murder Act, Phosphor and The Strange Forces, ending with spectral cold folk of Tablets and The Long Wives. 

- Limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl 
- Digital distribution by The Orchard 
- Exclusive unreleased tracks 
- Artist Selection and graphic design by Mushy

The KVB - Dayzed

While on a recent tour of the Western United States, London-based The KVB moved heaven and earth to make this wonderfully meditative 3-part episode possible. Working with award-winning documentary filmmaker Alix Lambert (The Mark of Cain), cinematographer Conor Simpson, engineer Griffin Rodriguez and editor Forrest Borie, the episode employs a simple set of colored gels, soft shadows, playful synth melodies, one cranky drum machine, one enormously loud Jazzmaster, and two unflinching performers. Welcome to the bracingly Zen-like inner-world of The KVB.  

BIO
The KVB is the prolific A/V outlet of artists Nicholas Wood and Kat Day. Combining goth-tinged, abstract imagery with a love of shoegaze guitars, minimal synths, reverb-drenched vocals and rigid beats, Nicholas initially started The KVB as a solo project. After frequent collaborations throughout 2011, Kat Day joined permanently on synths and visuals. Fast on the heels of several EPs and limited-edition cassettes, 2012 saw the release of the band's acclaimed first LP, Always Then, soon followed by tours of the UK, EU, and Western US. In early 2013, The KVB released Immaterial Visions via NYC's Cititrax imprint. If your musical tastes veer toward hypnotic minimal wave and snarling post-punk, The KVB will definitely satisfy your darkest Psychocandy-esque cravings.
