logo playlist We could just copy here the lyrics of the first track of the new album by NEUROSIS, who resurfaced after a decade. But we will only repeat one verse:

We’ve forgotten how to live, so we suffer.</span<“

The soundtrack of the first month of this Spring of Disquiet contains some very heavy concepts delivered with bone-crushing honesty and emotional weight by all bands, new and well-established ones. We were very happy to welcome two new bands from the dark alternative scene of France, one of which is BUZZKILL with an impressive debut album and the other is Une Vraie Gothique. While the sound of BUZZKILL has a stronger punk character, the multilingual lyrics and the sensual dark electro rhythms and melodies by Une Vraie Gothique, captured our hearts. We have been fascinated by the cinematic inspiration that drives the new project New German Cinema, and we cannot wait to experience this band live in London at the end of May 2026.

Finally, the return of The Twilight Sad and LADYTRON with captivating new albums and videos, made sure that the bittersweet feelings we were experiencing throughout March, were soothed.

 

We hope you enjoy this playlist as much as we did preparing it. And if you fancy listening to our radioshow on Mixcloud which included some of these releases you can do so from this link.

logo playlistUnlike others, we love winter and its darkness, and we look forward to the releases of the season. The soundtrack of the first long month of the year had everything from post-folk, to metal and heavy psych. We enjoyed impressive debut releases and promising self-released music and once again we were amazed by the paths that sonic experimentation is able to open in our consciousness.

Monthly playlist-Favourite albums November 2023

logo playlistOne month before the end of the year, our favourite albums covered all the colours of the industrial/noise music spectrum offering a lot of room for self-reflection. There were some very memorable come backs during this month and the first was the new album by Riotmiloo, probably the conceptually darkest release of the band so far. Taking inspiration from bands like Haus Arafna and Monolith, and developing their sound in such a way so that it reached the depths of their existence, the band has created an almost autobiographical album that has a very strong grip around one’s heart.

Another surprising come back, was that of Lebanon Hanover, who released the EP ‘Better Than Going Away’ and seem to have altered their sound in such a way that the neofolk/militaristic references have become very prominent.

 

The synthwave music spectrum was covered fully with the trippy and very memorable release by Nick Carlisle ‘Bloody Saturnalia’ while the album ‘The Most Dangerous Machine In The World’ by strom|morts can clearly be characterised as the weirdest, experimental release of this month. Next to this, sits the mesmerising storytelling album of Edward Ka-Spel, ‘Tease, Seize…Apply’. We can never get enough of sonic wizard Edward Ka-Spel’s otherworldly stories who always manages to make everything feel lighter and manageable!

Lastly we would like to draw your attention to the forceful ceremonial atmosphere created within the latest dark ambient gem released by Atrium Carceri. This is an album that will immediately transfer you into the dimly lit, mystic corridors of some far away castle and it should not go unnoticed.

We hope you enjoy this playlist as much as we did while preparing it.

logo playlistAugust is traditionally a calmer month when it comes to music releases but this one had some significant highlights which are hard to bypass. The return of PiL 8 years after the release of their previous studio album ‘What The World Needs Now’ with a punk gem that brings in some subtle Belgian coldwave elements too. ‘End Of World‘ is the bone-cracking title of the band’s latest offering ahead of the celebration of their 45th anniversary with a gig at O2 Forum Kentish Town.
