OUT: Album 'Snake Island' by Mona Mur

Mona Mur returns to her industrial roots, harder and more sinister than ever Marching in merciless beats and tempests of iron guitar, after a life of musical vagabondage, Berlin-based Mona Mur returns to her industrial roots, harder and more sinister than ever.

Welcome to Snake Island. Explaining the origin of the title, the artist states, “I came across a story about a small island off the Brazilian shores, where twenty-thousand snakes dwell — deadly poisonous vipers. They sleep nine months, then awaken only when a certain species of bird stops by to breed. So, the snakes eat them and survive. The snakes are everywhere. They’ve killed three lighthouse keepers so that the lighthouse is abandoned now.”

Mona continues, “I imagined myself living on that island, maybe even as one of the snakes.” Carried away by the total freedom of her imagination, Mona Mur has experienced great liberation on Snake Island, the perfect setting to unite 10 melancholy doomy, romantic and apocalyptic songs –– including two covers –– celebrating the death of late capitalism and sonically defined by harsh guitars, exquisite electronic mazes and bewitching melodies.

With the assistance of friend and collaborator Goldkind, Mona has created an expressive record full of mysticism and what she describes as “the doomiest heaviest dark flowery romantic dystopic music channeled into the world.”

After four decades of producing albums collaboratively, Snake Island succinctly sums up Mona’s work as a solo artist. So, what’s next? “I follow my path, no matter what. This might be my last record, might be not. I don't know and I don’t care.”

OUT: Single 'Dreams Don't Make Noise' by Lasse Matthiessen

Lasse Matthiessen reinvents himself - from a singer-songwriter who could have happily followed in Nick Drake's footsteps, the Dane transforms into an organic electro-indie-pop act who, with his remarkable deep, knowing vocal, conjures up hyperrealistic moments of the human experience.

The single pulsates with beats and bass, which is especially noteworthy because the Dane was once a quiet singer/songwriter. "Dreams Don't Make Noise" on the other hand, is very anthemic. 

With his upcoming new album ’Dreams’, slated for a winter 2022 release, he deliberately crosses the border to electronica with complete assurance. He composes shimmering indie pop with organic synths, electronic beats and velvety basses that lives and dances in the nocturnal streets of Europe.

OUT: EP 'The Early Years' by Frank & Toni Ft. Bob Moses

Finally getting a vinyl re-release is Frank & Tony’s seminal work with breakout duo Bob Moses. Back in 2012 Francis Harris and Anthony Collins (Frank & Tony) worked with their fellow New Yorkers before they went on to sign to Domino and blow up globally.

The four track EP kicks off with Elea - a deep and thoughtful collaboration utilizing Frank & Tony’s slick production with understated vocals. Next up on the A side is Holding On, featuring iconically Bob Moses vocals atop of a low-key bumping groove. There’s also washes of brass that add a new dimension to the track. Flipping over to the B side, Holy for Her (which also appeared back in 2012), is a densely wound, hypnotic rhythm, providing the basis for Tom Howie and Jim Vallance to do their special thing. Winding things up, Marigold is another early classic from the same period - a dubbed-out groove with sharp percussion and a killer, signature vocal. An essential release capturing a vital period in both outfits' development.

OUT: Single 'Flashing Lights' by Subbotnik

Who said again that you can't overdo overdoing? Whipped through the world by excess, sex and parties, we want so much glamour in everyday life that we lose ourselves in the emotional limbo of the metropolises. Hollywood is in the blood, until finally everything becomes unbearably quiet again and demands flashing lights.

OUT: Single 'Good Vibrations' by Patrice

Patrice: 'Making “Good Vibrations” was random, just me messing around with some ideas in my childhood habitat which is where I lived during parts of the demicpan. We did some heavy lifting carried a 16 Track 2” analog track machine from the 70s amongst many other crazy heavy items into my bedroom, hooked everything up and pressed record. The tapes magnetism lured sounds through vintage mics and cables and cryptic memories were uploaded from our depth to the surface. 'The Super Album' was taking shape. It was a long time coming but here it finally is.

OUT: Album 'Insomnia' by Kastrierte Philosophen

Insomnia - Kastrierte Philosphen 1986 Insomnia - a way of life rather than a disease The night a free space where anything can happen. Hour of demons and hour of visions, illusion and deception, loneliness, `always in a strange place' and yet connected to a deep knowledge, not visible in daylight (Comin'out of nowhere) Hour of magic and rebellion and unbearable, soothing silence (Callando los siglos) Soundtrack for sleepless nights of those who are always `too busy to stay'. Always in search of love and meaning.
