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.

Dollkraut ‎- Holy Ghost People

Krautrock with the mood of the Only Lovers Left Alive soundtrack. I got back to this one a few times befor posting. (Usually this doesn’t happen because of hesitation but when I don’t want to remove something from my Play Later list because then I come across it a few more times.) Also, nice album cover.

Ritual Howls – Rendered Armor

I feel this to be the least special of the three albums so far, but that said with having the high bar of Ritual Howls itself in mind.

Let’s give it some context. In 2009 I had this first shock about the resurgence of new and really authentic goth music that came with Led Er Est and O. Children. Then there was this second coming with the likes of Ritual Howls, The KVB, and She Past Away. Nowadays I’m just not surprised anymore that good new goth music can happen. As unlikely as it is, it’s a wonderful thing though.
