Earlier this week I stumbled upon the glorious works of Bulgarian dark ambient maestro Hristo Gospodinov, aka Shrine, and I was captivated. I'm especially enthralled by his latest release, called Ordeal 26.04.86 - which serves as a tribute to the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster of 1986. It's a cinematic album. Atmospheric and chilly, dark, with heavy electronics. … Fortsätt läsa New Discovery: Shrine

Thåström – Mannen som blev en gris
In one of the interviews in the book that comes with the ...Ungefär så här boxed set, Thåström talks about how he still reimagines the running order for the Mannen som blev en gris album.

New Discoveries: The Arms of Someone New
The Arms of Someone New isn't a new band in any literal sense of the word, but they're (sort of) new to me.

How do you deal with complete and utter loss? You can shut down. Retreat back inside. Paint the windows black. Destroy … Fortsätt läsa Review: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Skeleton Tree
My latest purchase: Rome – The Hyperion Machine
In August Jerome Reuter, a.k.a. Rome, released his ninth full length album, and let me tell you, it is his best, so far. Taking its name from a novel by Friedrich Hölderlin, The Hyperion Machine is Reuter at his darkly romantic and windswept best. Unlike his past albums The Hyperion Machine is not based on/tied to a specific theme. … Fortsätt läsa My latest purchase: Rome – The Hyperion Machine
