True post-punk, classic sound.
Rendez-Vous – Distance
Mitch Murder – Hurricane
Liquid drum and bass. This music and this album cover is an exceptionally strong mood.
Something something.
Deki Alem – Fluent Stutter
Alt-pop hiphop with occasional drum and bass for beats. Sounds fresh and different.
Traitrs – Rites And Ritual
It’s post-punk, but feels like coldwave indie, very surprisingly coming from Canada.
Bragolin – I Saw Nothing Good So I Left
These guys have one more album besides the one they credit together with Adam Tristar. It’s just as good with beautiful and soft darkwave melodies. I find this album emotionally rich and to go under my skin like good goth music does. Beautiful cover art, too.
Bragolin vs Adam Tristar – Let Out The Noise Inside
I wrote previously about Adam Tristar after I first saw him live. I’ve been going back to his music regularly and since then I’ve realized that his first record is probably my favorite, so this is a nod to that. Darkwave electronic goth stuff.
Angels Of Liberty – Servant Of The Grail
Classic goth rock. Besides the gloom and darkwave, some songs have a great hook, almost having a glam feel to them (like Son of Serpent and The Last Vampire).
Hello Meteor – The Oahu GP 3: Factory Team
It’s the breakbeat I love and remember done now, with some big beat, drum and bass, and video game sound aesthetics. This is such a fun album from the music through the concept to the cover art.
Darkways – Resonance
Another amazing goth record. Fantastically captured mood, classic sound, mix of post-punk and synths, with an occasional futurepop flair.
Twin Tribes – Pendulum
Classic post-punk goth sound and vibes.
