This sounds like how post-punk can be interpreted as bedroom shoegaze alternative hiphop in 2023. Which is just fascinating. To me this is coldwave mostly.
Soft Kill – Metta World Peace
Cymbaline – Computerleven
This band is such a perfect krautrock blend where alternative rock meets coldwave. I’ve seen them live once, they were so professional and maintained this spot-on atmosphere during their whole set.
Adam Tristar – Suicide Neighborhood
I saw Adam Tristar on a goth club night headlining after like ten other concerts. It was a duo performing live and they stood out so much from the others, like it would be a professional act after a list of DIY bedroom bands. Well, that’s probably a pretty good approximation of what happened.
The music is all along the goth aesthetics with electronic coldwave synths. Hits close to my heart.
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.
She Past Away – Disko Anksiyete
Little synthwave touch added here and there, but luckily that’s just tidbits, most is still goth and coldwave that keep setting the mood. La Maldad is the most surprising track, which sounds… playful? As it starts it somehow reminds me of CSS. Super weird, out of place, but that’s also something to love.
Boy Harsher – Careful
Coldwave and synth and drum loops. Love the moods, sometimes cheesy but that’s also spot on.
Hante. – Between Hope & Danger
Synthwave, goth, coldwave. First album was better. Listened to both in a row, though.
