Some stuff i've been listening to lately:


Berntholer were a band from Brussels around in the mid 80s. Not really sure how to describe this..., pretty sad / melancholic..., reminds me of This Mortal Coil. Video is weirdly cool - just lots of wandering around among sculpture / environmental art. I find myself repeating this a lot.


Vatican Shadow is the guy from Prurient. Really weird project. Kind of 'meta commentary' of post-9/11 in a Tom Clancy novel / most-wanted Iraqi playing cards / Fox News polemic headline sort of way. Similar to Prurient - pretty dark and brooding..., repetition. Beats that sound like they've been re-recorded several times. Dirty bass line.


Something like gaseous ambient goth pop realms ...reclaimed 80s stock sounds. Reminds me of winter in Berlin. With repeated listens i always go up a volume notch each time. waaaaaah.



Ramleh are probably my favourite 'noise' group / duo. Not really so into the power electronics stuff they did which i find unlistenable, but the Hole in the Heart release is so good. This track is particularly beautiful and usually leaves me pretty exhausted. Perfect tones.

I've been listening to summery chill-pop lately.

Sat next to the lead singer in my Intro to Psych class freshman year. Few years later, I see him getting reviewed on Pitchfork and doing Baron Wells ads. Crazy.

wasn't sure if this should go in the 'food' thread.

I cannot seem to stop listening to this song. The singer (Emma Ruth Rundle) also plays in the band Red Sparowes

Bunch of new releases by Ben Frost. For people who are into industrial soundscapes.
