New Entry: NO Releases New Single "Pills"

Canadian minimal synth/coldwave/post punk artist No (aka Antonio Pavao Pereira) has released his new single "Pills".

The song is out now through Tonn Recordings and is taken from his upcoming album.

No brings us synth infused with lyricism mapped over the dark undercurrent of an intensively driving beat. From vocals suffused with a compelling nihilistic charge, No draws the listener into narratives with a somber core. This is synth unprocessed and raw edged, with an immediacy that goes straight to the heart of the matter.

The Present Moment Details New LP 'Enough To Drive You Mad', Airs "Dharma"

Los Angeles cold wave/minimal synth/electro artist The Present Moment (aka Scott Milton) has revealed details of his upcoming new album 'Enough To Drive You Mad.'

His fifth studio album was recorded in Los Angeles during the 2020-2021 lockdown against the backdrop of Covid-19's seemingly unstoppable fear and omnipresent suffering and will be out on May 1st. Pre-order your copy here.

Dark, blunt, and beautiful ETDYM dives unflinching into the horror of watching a world flail in helplessness through waves of sickness, misinformation, anger, hypocrisy and greed, all the while clinging desperately to the concept of empathy and the endurance of the human spirit. 

Enough To Drive You Mad marks the second recorded collaboration between project founder Milton Scott and award-winning composer and singer/songwriter/producer Jason "Halogen" Dunn. Milton and Dunn began working together with the B-side of 2019's Split album, which expanded THE PRESENT MOMENT'S minimalist synth sound with the addition of live instruments and shifting arrangements, a melding of worlds that continues to allow Milton's haunting voice and gift for lyrical imagery to paint new characters and scenes over a lush landscape of shimmering guitars, driving bass lines, and pummeling drum loops - in concert with the hypnotic arpeggio lines and synth soundscapes that the band's fans hold dear.

Check out the album's tracklist and the listen to his pulsating and hypnotic new single "Dharma", below.

Enough To Drive You Mad Tracklisting:

01. White Picket Dreams

02. News For You

03. Lost The Plot

04. Dharma

05. Enough To Drive You Mad

06. Life-Line

07. Safety In Numbers

Paradox Obscur Announce New LP 'Morphogenesis', Stream "Animal Reactor"

Greek minimal synth/cold wave duo Paradox Obscur (aka Kriistal Ann and Toxic Razor) have announced the release of their new album 'Morphogenesis'. 

The follow-up to last year's , will be out on May 6th via Metropolis Records, pre-orders will start on April 1st.

Paradox Obscur formed in 2014, made up of prolific producers Toxic Razor and Kriistal Ann, who both share a love for recording electronics in realtime to deliver their unfiltered unique electronic sound. This is not your typical electronic duo, they experiment and do not feel the need to move around in the shadows.

About the new record the duo said: Took us 18 months and a lot of work until this new album reached its final stage. 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐒 is an album that represents a gateway into the virtual world of illusion, one that modern man has appropriated and irrevocably strives to keep as an extension of his physical being that is lost in a dream of constructed contentedness.

Watch the video for the album's lead single "Animal Reactor" below.

Mitra Mitra Detail New LP 'Hands Remain', Stream Title Track

Vienna minimal synth/electronic/synth wave duo Mitra Mitra have revealed details of their sophomore full-length album 'Hands Remain'.

The follow-up to their 2018’s hugely well received debut Marionettes, was produced by the duo and will be out on January 17 through Polytechnic Youth. Pre-order it here.

The band was formed in Vienna in late 2014 by Violet Candide and Mahk Rumbae. Originally from New Zealand, Violet Candide has been a fixture of the Vienna post-punk and minimal synth scene for many years as a DJ before making music with Mitra Mitra and her other projects Slow Glass (with Bobby from Low Sea), Peppy Pep Pepper and Violetiger. Whilst British musician Mahk Rumbae is known for his work as a member of the industrial/experimental project Konstruktivists, Oppenheimer MkII (with Andy Oppenheimer of Oppenheimer Analysis) and his solo techno project Codex Empire.

The new LP is their strongest set yet; 'Hands Remain' is perhaps darker in nature than previous MM releases; although mostly completed before the pandemic, it somehow fits the times we live in now. A wonderful 12 track collection hugely recommended to fans of classic era synth pop, early Mute, Cherry Red, Blackwing Studios etc etc.

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "Hands Remain" and "Insomnia" below.

Hands Remain Tracklist:

01. By Your Hand

02. Memories for Company

03. One and the Same

04. Dormant Carbon Coma

05. Hands Remain

06. Intersection

07. Vertigo

08. Ricochet

09. Monochrome

10. Insomnia 

11. Western Side

12. Gappy Spheres
