However much time passes, eventually that mood comes when I get back to thinking about My Dying Bride and the need to listen to their music as the soft and soothing pillow my soul needs. And I still haven’t heard all their records, so I always give a shot to something new. This one didn’t disappoint either; gives what I expect, serves what I need, does what they do.
topographies – Ideal Form
Goth rock mood.
Raging Speedhorn – Hard To Kill
Amazing stoner hard rock. Gives me all the mandatory vibes of the genre, feels fulfilling.
Minuit Machine – Don’t Run From The Fire
It’s so strange that I haven’t made note of Minuit Machine before considering how much I listen to their records recently. It’s a constant item in my cyberpunk playlists. It’s an amazing blend of electro and goth moods resulting in this beautiful dark wave atmosphere that I just strive in.
Calibre – Shelflife Six
Drum and bass from almost-jazzy acoustic through light and bright liquid to bass-heavy dancefloor tunes.
Sunda Arc – Tides
From ambient to mid-tempo, from moody electronics to modern classical. A debut record that sounds like a debut record: full of references and inspiration but I have yet to hear the dintinct voice of Sunda Arc. I can hear the blue electronics of Moderat, the piano play of Nils Frahm, also the clarinet comes with a Floex reference to me. Nice sounds overall, just needs more originality next time.
Freeways – True Bearings
Tastes of straight up rock music from heavy metal through psychedelic to hard rock. A band with two records that sounds like an old classic that could be around for decades. Logo and cover arts also support this feeling.
Derek Carr – Pursuit
My favorite type of focus music. Minimal techno, sometimes house, mid-tempo, some dub aesthetics, some tight beats, sunset moods. Respectfully sits in the background and enhances my attention when I need that extra kick for work. Also good for cruising around in a night city and some dinner conversations.
Clubroot – Surface Tension IV
Melodic bass-heavy electronic music, post-dubstep if you will. It’s a beautiful soothing experience. I don’t feel the sci-fi that the liner notes say and the cover’s aesthetic suggests, much more the love and the delicate connection nature of it that the cover’s subject depicts. So it’s not exactly how it looks but rather what it shows.
Assemblage 23 – Mourn
Just that EBM slash futurepop that I would expect from an Assemblage 23 album. The Deluxe Edition’s remixes added pretty much nothing to the experience, so that basic set of ten tracks are fine as they are.
