New Discoveries: Sekel
Hurula får den mesta uppmärksamheten från kritiker och den breda publiken, men den fräschaste postpunken just nu kommer från Malmö. Jag har tidigare pratat om True Moon och deras snygga blandning av Siouxie and the Banshees-attiyd och Chameleons-gitarrer. Den senaste upptäckten jag gjort heter Sekel. Sprungna ur psykrockbandet Technicolor Poets spelar de en atmosfärisk och melodiös postpunk, … Fortsätt läsa New Discoveries: Sekel
New Discovery: Shrine
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
2016 In Review: The albums
2016. 20. Bon Iver - 22, A Million - Justin Vernons musik blir underligare och underligare, och svårare och svårare att relatera till och förstå, men den blir aldrig ointressant. 19.

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. I've always felt that he has a very acute eye for sequencing and track listings, and this particular album is … Fortsätt läsa Thåström – Mannen som blev en gris
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. Apparently, according to Last.fm, I briefly listened to them back in the spring of 2010, but I have no real recollection of it, so to call it a rediscovery would be a stretch. … Fortsätt läsa New Discoveries: The Arms of Someone New
New Discoveries: True Moon
As an avid and longterm post-punk fan it's always a great pleasure to stumble upon a new discovery within that genre. And today it has happened again. True Moon is fronted by Karolina Engdahl, whom we know from the Malmö based punk/alternative band Vånna Inget, and they have just released their first single. It's called … Fortsätt läsa New Discoveries: True Moon
Review: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Skeleton Tree
What do you do when something vital is mercilessly torn from you? How are you supposed to act when the universe rips your heart out of your chest and replaces it with...nothing in particular? 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
