Image supplied by Tommyboy Oblio trip the dark light fantastic with a second 12″, “Principle of Discovery”, seemingly themed to cosmic construction theory if the ’70s distressed archi-horror cover art is anything to go by (nb, its not depicted above). Its no secret that this is the more introverted space-age alter-ego of the princes of…
The initial breakdown of this Marina and the Diamonds’ remix circa 2.15 might well be the most beautiful thing that Pink Stallone have come up with yet, and God knows they have been good kids and true purveyors of blissful 80s tinged top-class ‘dance with your make-up smudged by tears’ music since they came inside…
Mueran Humanos’ seductive dirge sounds like the missing link between La Dusseldorf and a squadron of cadaverous 4AD artists, or Indian Jewelry performing a macabre tango, like black raven wings spreading from a shadowy corner in your messy bedroom, dark bliss palpitates alluring hidden inside a shroud of cobwebs, perhaps 20JFG’s new favourite band for…
Welcome to the second instalment of Brian Deathbombarc’s tour of LA. Step into the awesomeness, and say thanks below. The Valley of Smoke is what Native Americans called the area now known as Los Angeles. Geographically predisposed toward fires, dusty air, and an apocalyptic feeling in general, it didn’t help in the 80′s that we…
We didn’t sleep this weekend. We spent it chasing a coven of witch CEOs across the streets of the City at night. You know how the master puppeteers of the world share membership in a dense cobweb or secret societies and the like? Well, some of them are about more than secret handshakes and wearing…
We have the best tunes, man. And the best images, thank Tommy Boy for that. The gentle folks at Six Degrees Records have sent us one piece of balearic heaven, or an advance from their upcoming release by some people called Pacifika, as remixed by those magicians Quiet Village. Go on holidays somewhere warm and…
Black Meteoric Star’s impending arrival on Earth is marked by harbingers of planetary pressure walls – black linear schisms mapping forbidden languages across the dusk skies, earthquakes cracking the surface of Mars as it draws closer to its terrible alignment with Earth, an ice cold pinprick of darkened dread on the back of the neck…
Not too many moons into the near future the good people at Absolutely Kosher will be releasing Revenge, The Rollercoaster Project’s debut album which has seriously knocked us all for sixxx. A positively awesome mindmelt of crystal chamber compositions, bleeding wire computer balladry, and shards of black metal noise filtered through the mind of Hans-Joachim…
Jeremy Jay’s Love Everlasting is a slow burning, painfully perfect piece of night time melancholia which steals from the 80s in the best possible way, this is, with a heart. It sounds like the reflection of a fast red corvette in the windows of a chic boutique outside a shut down disco somewhere down town,…
Fritz Leiber’s Conjure Wife describes life in a small college town where the wives of the lecturers and professors clash against each other in a secret war of witchcraft. This involves a relentless arms race where books on anthropology are scoured for new tricks with which to thwart the efforts of the competition, and protective…
Remember when Jason Voorhees was shot into space and re-animated like some kind of psychotic, cybernetic Frankenstein, half machine, half scar tissue, to wreak bloody havoc on a crew of gormless idiots who were so faceless they probably defined divine retribution having their faces split in half by the full force of a Goliath sized…
Because this apocalyptic year of financial fears and glacial colds has got to be kicked off in total style, there you have a couple of tunes of frozen beauty with a warm and beautiful heart beating deep inside the synthetic ice, happy 09 everyone. I am The Cosmos‘ Final Form is a contemplative kernel of…
