Drawing inspiration from the 80's subculture, the moody allure of the Neue Deutsche Welle, the seminal post-punk sounds of Britain, decadentist literature and experimental electronics, among others, Contes Cruels crafts their sound, characterized by minimalist compositions, vintage gear and evocative, cold lyrics. 

Venturing into the realms of hauntology, exploring the pervasive sense in which contemporary culture is haunted by the "lost futures" of modernity—those futures that never materialized or were eclipsed by the tides of postmodernity—the duo embodies this spectral presence in their debut EP, Séance.

For the month of March, we are premiering a new underground goth gem from DeathFauna and KNOWNPLEASURES. The song "Facedown" is from the upcoming DeathFauna EP titled "Ghost World" which will release this week on March 6th, 2025. The haunting synths and coldwave inspired production of DeathFauna are a perfect match for KNOWNPLEASURES' sinister and cavernous vocals.

"The time of cybernetics and the desert has come, of the inexorable paradigm shift between the organic and the synthetic, will we be able to withstand the onslaught of digital modernity?

This cry of warming is a prophecy in the form of a digital joke, a lead into the future from the present that reminds us of the dangers of exploiting everything around us, in short, music for televised apocalypses in wich we can only rely on Solarpunk to light the way to transcendence and the nature/machine balance."

Kairos Arrieta, DJ, producer and founding member of the Asturian collective ASA People Collective and curator at Restored Link where he brings to light his own productions and those of other Asturian artists, presents 2040 EP, 6 tracks in electro industrial key, punkish vocals and a clear cyberpunk character.

Dan Böhler once again has been in charge of mastering all the material, and Lucas Salinas has made all the visual imagery that accompanies this release.

ვხედავ სული გიფარფატებს ქარში,
იცვამ, გინდა დაემსგავსო სხეულს -
ნაცვლად თვალი გამიყარო თვალში
მუდამ შენ წინ მდგარს და ანაზდეულს.

ახელ თვალებს, გზას აგრძელებ ისევ,
ჩურჩულს იწყებს სხეულიდან ეშმა,
ვერ ჩერდები, ხელებს დანით ისერ.
ციდან უცებ შუქი გადმოეშვა...

შენი მზერით ანგელოზი დადნა,
შური აცდენს შენით ყველა წმინდანს,
ახლა ქრისტე უთვალთვალებს ჰადესს,
და მანამდე სუფრა გადაწმინდა.

ვფიქრობ, არ ვარ უცნაური ასე,
მომეკიდა გაკვირვებულს ობი.
მიკვირს, როგორ მაცდენს ხმები, როცა
აღარც მჯერა მათი არსებობის.

შეშინებულს მათხოვარი მლოცავს,
ეკლესიის შესასვლელში ვფიქრობ
საფეთქელში ჯვარი რომ ჩავირტყა,
გადავრჩე ან აქვე გავაფრინო.

ღამეს რაღაც უცნაური კვებავს,
ეჭვი დამებადა, გათენებას ველი - 
მოდი, იქნებ ჯობდა ჩემ წამებას
შენ თვითონ რომ გამოგეჭრა ყელი!
