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.

Monthly playlist-Favourite albums August 2024

logo playlist …and you, have YOU protected your dreams from the Oneirophage? We think that if there was such a creature as GRIST seem to believe, then our favourite releases of the months, would provide the perfect soundtrack for its scary activities!

The music output of this month, as expected for the summer months was not the greatest in terms of quantity. Our favourite releases, helped us make a mind-numbing sonic journey while news about devastating wildfires and exhausting heat around the planet reached our ears and eyes. The latest offering by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds ‘Wild God’, was soul-arresting, with slow rhythms and powerful soul and gospel elements infusing its ten rock ballads. Chrystabell and David Lynch‘s dreamy album ‘Cellophane Memories’ is offering some much needed lightness into our sonic landscape of the month, with ethereal songs that make one feel like floating on air. Speaking of lightness, we were particularly happy listening to Demi-Nuit‘s post-punk, 80s coldwave-infused, synthwave EP ‘Fille de Moujik’. Always punctual on her appointment with us during the summer, Chelsea Wolfe has treated us to one more beautiful disquieting ethereal EP ‘Undone’ full with great remixes by Boy Harsher, Ash Koosha, Full of Hell, Crosses and Justin K. Broadrick.

A special mention is due to the debut releases of the month, by Dallas Kent and Shadow Knell. ‘Ghost Highway‘ the debut single by Dallas Kent, is inspired by the best moments of dreamy trip hop both in terms of rhythms and visuals. ‘Shadow Knell‘ the debut album by Shadow Knell, is “…a mystical, mournful, and doom-laced synth fantasy that echoes from dungeons deep and forests eternal” and merges modern classical lyricism with the rhythmic existentialism of dark ambient music.

 

We hope you enjoy listening to this playlist, as much as we did preparing it!

An evening of haunting tales from a count, a witch and a siren

We’ve gone down the steps to the basement of Aces& Eights countless times but the vibe that was generated that night, a few days ago cast a dark veil over the space and made it feel much darker than usual. From the first second, the feeling was that of stepping into a post-ceremonial macabre celebration. The intimate arrangement of tables and chairs set the tone for something austere and measured, requiring a composed ‘aristocratic’ behaviour. At that moment, we had the feeling that we were not just attening a gig but that rather, we had been summoned there.

A waltz macabre loupe came from the speakers, playing games with our concentration, creating a sonic labyrinth whose exit was only visible once Down From Above appeared on stage.

logo playlistApril was the month with the biggest number of releases so far in 2023. The 66 releases we listened to during this month covered everything from dream pop to existential symphonic metal, and for that reason it represents almost all the moods that we went through the last month. Our favourite albums of the month reflect this incredible mix of music that talented people created for us from around the world.

“As long as music is loud enough, we won’t hear the world falling apart”(‘Jubilee’ Derek Jarman)

logo playlistJanuary is typically a ‘quiet’ month in terms of gigs but very rich in its sonic output in terms of album releases. As a new decade has started and the world has not ended (sic) our favourite releases from this month are tracing a sonic path that took us from lyrical gothic to blues and from heavy psychedelia and industrial syncopation to dreamy and eerie soundscapes.
