Unlit Trail
[engl] Recorded over the course of three Autumn nights on the west coast of Sweden at the end of a tour in 2018, Fletcher Tucker’s Unlit T rail is a record of ritual, and an invitation to enter a ritual domain. Composed in the wake of Tucker’s intricately arranged LP Cold S pring, Unlit T rail decomposes and subsumes several songs and sonic elements from that previous work – offering them resurrection in a minimalistic and Plutonian habitat. An uncanny territory populated by trembling leaves, breathing organs, and the animate hooting, scraping, and buzzing of archaic flutes, tuned bowls, and droning strings. Unlit T rail is a single, continuous, long-form piece, containing seven movements split over two record sides. Crafted initially for solo, multi-instrumental live performances, an atmosphere of intimacy and immediacy permeates these woodland cabin recordings. The album opens with the sound of branches burning in the hearth, and Tucker warming his hands to play. Rattling leaves signal the beginning of an earthen ceremony. Sustained organ notes unfurl, swell, and drift through the room – carrying us into a liminal state, beyond ordinary awareness, and onto the unlit trail.- Format

This is post wave
[engl] Why don't you do yourself a favor and get this through your moldy rind ASAP: Future Punx are punk. Punker than the Tragedy tattoo you got in 2006 and try to forget about. Punker than your "transgressive" Soundcloud-noise-wankery and the fascist imagery you childishly borrowed for the logo. Punker than your dangly earring and your stupid switchblade that you will literally never use, and yes dear reader, punker than YOU. The members of Future Punx have all taken the traditional punk trajectory; playing in crust, garage, weird-punk, hardcore punk bands, and by virtue of thinking for themselves becoming what they were always meant to be: FUTURE PUNX. For far too long the Punx have been a well-kept New York secret. The band, formed in the aftermath of FERGUS & GERONIMO, have become a well-oiled live machine over the last three years. Near-constant gigging at New York institutions like Baby’s Alright, Palisades and Silent Barn have found them fiercer than ever, evidenced in 'This Is Post-Wave', their first full length LP. On the self-produced album, Future Punx solidify their vision of a genreless approach to musical creation, finding a focused, diverse and open-hearted approach to exploring the astral planes of punk. Both sonically and conceptually, 'This Is Post-Wave' takes the group to new places. It shouldn't be surprising that the title reads like that of a manifesto, as the opening, titular track is just that. Telling both the bands' cosmic origin-story and ideological agenda, the song ends with an exciting refrain: “Liberate at any rate, don't hesitate, THIS IS POST-WAVE”- Format

Palindrome
[engl] Ghost Bag is the recording alias of Nick Jongen. Born in the Netherlands in 1991 & currently residing in Berlin, Germany. This is his second release under the moniker Ghost Bag. Palindrome? was written and recorded in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil during an artist residency at Goethe Institute in January and February of 2019. Following up on Jongen’s 2018 debut under the Ghost Bag moniker, ?Ghost Bag & Tine Fetz? - an audiovisual collaboration with illustrator Tine Fetz - ?Palindrome? is undoubtedly a solo effort. On this self-recorded documentation of his travels, Jongen reflects on the past, present, and worries about his future. Summoning rippling clouds of guitar textures punctuated by intricate finger-picking figures set the backdrop to his ethereal vocals, while synths rumble like a volcano in the distance. Despite the option to use an in-house theatre space, this record was made almost entirely in the bedroom with just two mics and a small synthesizer brought from home, plus a worn out acoustic guitar purchased on site. Most days of his two-month stay were spent writing routinely, feeding monkeys from the kitchen window during breaks. On the song ?Lion?, a cellphone recording of Jongen lamenting on the beach at night plays in the background. Flirting with dreams of redemption, fatalistic sentiments echo throughout. Jongen is able to catch a glimpse of the outside world, while the door remains locked. A cynic might say this record is a testament of personal alienation made under trade-wind tropical rainforest weather conditions. In his own words... “M?aking this record was existential, painful, and existentially painful. Upon returning to Europe it went on to haunt me for over a year. Now, I’ve seemingly come to terms with it, making it available to everyone that’s willing to listen.?” Enjoy ?Palindrome?: recorded in a bedroom with the curtains drawn on the other side of the world.- Format

GHOSTLIMB
Bearing and distance
Wer die Cinematic-Grindcoreband Graf Orlock nicht kennt, hat als Filmfan eindeutig etwas verpasst. Erscheint die Band auf dem ersten Blick als eine von vielen, wird der Charm beim zweitem Hinschauen aus verschiedenen Filmen geschöpft, deren kurze Samples von den Filmwissenschaftlern Alan Hunter und Jason Schmidt in die Texte eingewoben werden. Bei zwei Zitaten aus einem Film pro Song, welche im Text mehrmals wiedergegröllt werden, kommt spätestens nach mehrmaligen Hören, die Frage nach einem Nerdtum auf. Dann wird der Widerspruch von Zeitreise anhand von "Terminator" analysiert und in einem anderem Song die Auswirkungen des Klonens, welche im "Jurassic Park"-Theme endet. Eindeutig ein musikalisches Spaßprojekt, welches die Langeweile des akademischen Alltages vergehen lassen soll. Eine andere Seite wird beim Nebenprojekt von Justin Smith aufgeschlagen. Statt auf Humor wird auf Philosophie gesetzt und statt Grindcore- wird schneller und kurzer Hardcore gespielt, dessen Melodien sich mit viel Gebrüll ab dem ersten Song entfalten. Am besten kommen Songs wie "Age Old" an den Hörer ran, denn aus Breaks, welche den Song für einen kurzen Moment abstottern lassen, entspringen ab und an kurze Gitarrensoli, die den schnellen Passagen Aufwind geben und die Backshouts unterstreichen. Lyrisch breitet Smith seine Gedankenkarten vor dem Hörer aus, die er in den letzten Jahren auf der Reise zu sich Selbst gezeichnet hat. Einer Mindmap, die im heimischen Hafen Buena Park, Kalifornien beginnt und das Ablegen von schlechten Eigenschaften dokumentiert. Dabei steckt jeder Song wie eine kleine Stecknadeln in der Karte und markiert symbolisch, an welchem Hafen während der Reise angelegt wurde. Es befindet sich eine Kennzeichnung bei der Natürlichkeit des Menschen (Laughter) oder ein Hinweis auf die innerliche Vereinnahmung von Autoren (Copywritten). Im letzten Song "Loxodrom" wird Smith noch einmal persönlich und bittet den Hörer auf die eigene Reise, indem er seine Ausgangsituation erklärt und zu Nachdenken anregt.- Format

GHOSTLIMB
s/t
GHOSTLIMB spielen wütenden, dreckigen HC, der seine Wurzeln deutlich in den rauhen Ursprüngen des Genres hat, aber angenehm zeitgemäß klingt. Es gelingt ihnen trotz aller Geschwindigkeit und Brachialität famoserweise immer wieder, nette Melodien durch das Distortion-Gewitter zu schieben, so dass die Songs einen sehr eigenen Charakter entfalten; und falls etwas dann partout nicht hängen bleiben will, wird es dem Hörer kompromisslos hinein geprügelt.- Format

debut
Colored Vinyl im Klappcover mit integrierter CD!Trio aus Brooklyn und Philadelphia, die anfangs nur die Riffs ihrer Lieblingsbands Lungfish, June of 44 und Spaceman 3 klauen wollten, aber gottseidank dabei scheiterten und etwas eigenes, Größeres schufen. Stattdessen vermischen sie DC-Postpunk Einflüsse mit instrumentalen Klangwelten, Shoegazer und Indieversatzstücken und entwickeln so mal nebenbei sieben monströse Tracks zwischen Hot Snakes und depressiven Fugazi.- Format

Absent Healing
[engl] We are really excited to present the vinyl version of the latest release from France's Gomme, Absent Healing. This perfectly executed all-female post-punk / goth group calls to mind some of our favorite groups such as Malaria and Grass Widow, highly recommended! Gomme is a female-focused 3-piece post-punk band formed in 2015 in Paris, FR. As recently donned Parisians hailing from San Francisco and Vienna, the women of Gomme sing in French and German as well as English. Accompanied by dark rhythms, dreamy riffs, and aggressive beats, the meanings of the songs range from the experience of being a woman in today’s society to the feeling of being lost and disconnected as an expatriate in France, messages that have been proven to unite womyn at their shows resulting in many all-girl mosh pits.- Format

[engl] Western Massachusetts' HOAX presents their highly anticipated self-titled, self-released 12 song debut LP. After a relentless string of EP's and tours, this release marks a new standard in DIY hardcore punk. Taking their pummeling, mid-tempo sound and expanding it into something far sicker and hideous, they have leveled the horizon with a series of anthems as you've never heard before. A huge collaborative effort masterfully engineered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air studios, this LP features contributions from 14 of the underground's finest artists and comes housed in a full-color, double-scored folder enclosing 6 double-sided poster sized inserts.- Format

KINDLING
no education
[engl] Kindling is comprised of my good buddies Stephen and Andy who also play in WMass hardcore outfit Ampere, as well as Gretschen (who plays guitar and sings) and Andrew, who plays bass. I can tell you these people have the most solid musical knowledge I know… While it would be easy to compare them to My Bloody Valentine, a closer listen will also led you to find evident traces of Superchunk guitar riffs, Teenage Fanclub and Jesus & Mary Chain melodies to serve a very personnal and unique sound… They blur they dreamy melodies into a wall of a massive fuzz sounds with a a pop sensibility rarely found when the volume and attack ends up this far in the red. While they spent a week at Sonelab in rural Easthampton, MA with Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr, Pixies, Speedy Ortiz, Sonic Youth, etc.) to record their first full length Galaxies for the amazing No Idea Records in Florida, they cut 6 extra songs for this euro-only release ! Adagio 830 and Echo Canyon team up one more timeto bring you this amazing EP for you! Those songs will also be released on tape in the US on Old Flame records !- Format

dust
[engl] The Berlin trio Levitations make an intense, feverish, raw-nerved form of post-punk, one that takes its cues from the genre’s ragged pioneers rather than the sleeker, more danceable acts that came later. The album’s title track is a burning headrush of a song, and you can check it out below. (stereogum) Levitations are a three piece post punk / garage band from berlin. The three girls formed in 2009 and after a 7" this is finally their debut LP. 9 songs of blistering dark post punk - somehow reminds of a mix between Super Wild Horse meets Kleenix or Lilliput. Raw and catchy at the same time- Format

MAN HANDS are also from the UK. When I first heard them I thought they sent me a DEVOLA master. Those 7 songs of classical power violence are over before you even realized what was happening.
