Welcome Strawberry "Desperate Flower"

1 2
  • Oakland’s Welcome Strawberry return with Desperate Flower, their lush sophomore LP and a co-release from à La Carte Records and Cherub Dream Records. Blending shimmering dream-pop, homespun psychedelia, and restless experimental textures, the album balances intimacy with expansiveness. Lead single “Memory Cube” pulses with hypnotic energy, while “Violets & Honey” channels the jangle of C86 pop. The title track blooms into kaleidoscopic psych-pop, nodding to Elephant 6 icons and kiwi pop legends alike. At once nostalgic and forward-thinking, Desperate Flower is a vivid, hazy journey through melody and memory.

Observation Room "Self Titled"

1 3
  • Brooklyn’s Observation Room unveil their self-titled debut EP, a four-track descent into the stark, shimmering world of moody synth-pop. Drawing on the crystalline melodies of Book of Love, the industrial melancholia of Depeche Mode, and the stark minimalism of early Human League, the duo crafts a sound that is both deeply nostalgic and eerily contemporary.

    From the pounding, chant-driven pulse of “Workers”—a mechanized anthem built on relentless synth grooves—to the sweeping, operatic sprawl of “Orange Moon Distance,” the EP moves between the mechanical and the cosmic with effortless precision. It’s a record that thrives on tension: sleek yet raw, futuristic yet rooted in Reagan-era unease.
    Observation Room began as the solo project of Marina F, whose early demos were crafted in transit from the forests of Maine back to the electrified hum of New York City. The addition of Chloe Olson on bass, synths, and vocals solidified the duo’s sonic vision, deepening their already immersive live performances. Their music channels the past while peering into the future, connecting the dots between decades of electronic innovation and present-day anxieties.

    A meticulously crafted introduction to their world, this debut EP cements Observation Room as one of the most compelling new voices in synth-pop. Step inside.

Holy Wire "The Ending of an Age Remixes"

1 2
  • The Ending of an Age Remixes finds Austin’s Holy Wire curating an international lineup of post-punk futurists to reinterpret his sleek, frostbitten synth-pop with colder hands and heavier hearts. A companion piece to Holy Wire’s The Ending of an Age LP, this remix album transforms its polished melancholy into something rawer, stranger, and more nocturnal — a descent from shimmering loneliness into shadowy euphoria.

    Holy Wire — the project of Alain Paradis — has always lived in the borderlands between new romanticism and modern despondency. His original songs borrow equally from the clean lines of early-’80s coldwave and the earnest pop sensibilities of acts like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. But here, that emotional clarity is blurred and fractured by a cadre of remixers from the bleeding edge of post-industrial and darkwave: Public Circuit, M!R!M, The KVB, and Johnny Dynamite, among others.

    Each artist pulls a different thread from the fabric. Public Circuit injects EBM menace into the dancefloor, replacing melodic longing with seething intensity. M!R!M conjures a warped, almost devotional atmosphere — like hearing the original through a fogged mirror. The KVB strips things to their cold, propulsive essence, offering the most austere and hypnotic cut on the release. Johnny Dynamite, meanwhile, leans into the emotional core, making nostalgia feel like an affliction you don’t want to heal from.

    These remixes aren’t just aesthetic variations — they’re emotional reframings. Where The Ending of an Age hinted at disconnection and longing, Remixes explores what comes after: the numbness, the displacement, the brief highs that flicker in the ruins. The city is still there, the bodies are still restless, but the shadows have grown longer, the synths sharper, the beats more unforgiving.

    For fans of darkwave, minimal synth, and emotionally literate club music, The Ending of an Age Remixes is less a remix album than a mirrorball shattered and reassembled in the dark — jagged, beautiful, and still somehow full of light.

Plight "Self Titled"

1 4
  • Brooklyn’s Plight return with their self-titled sophomore album, a gripping fusion of ‘90s power-pop crunch and emo atmosphere. Building on the foundation of Plastic Sun, this new record refines their sound with sharper hooks, urgent melodies, and a restless energy that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Think Sunny Day Real Estate meets Seaweed, with echoes of Archers of Loaf and Treepeople. From the slow burn of “Save Yourself” to the kinetic rush of “Late Shift,” Plight is an album of tension, release, and raw catharsis.

Nuxx "Compilation LP"

1 2
  • The sound of Nuxx is sweat, steel, and strobe light. The electro project of Madeline Seely has carved out a space where electronic body music collides with 90s techno, drum and bass, and digital hardcore, creating a relentless, high-BPM assault that feels equally at home in underground raves and art-house spaces. With Compilation LP, out May 2 via à La Carte Records, Nuxx revisits and recontextualizes three previously released EPs—Bird Brain, FTEV, and No Money—originally issued on cassette by Synthicide Records. Now, these feverish, distorted club weapons will be available on vinyl for the first time.

    Seely’s sound exists in the red: basslines that punch through the mix like a drum machine short-circuiting, synths that screech and contort, rhythms that push past the breaking point. It’s a sound indebted to electroclash, acid house, and hyperpop, but one that sidesteps retro tropes in favor of something harsher and more immediate. The collected works on Compilation LP map the evolution of that sonic language, moving from the mechanical, cybernetic pulse of "Bird Brain" to the raw, serrated edges of "No Money". There’s an anarchic glee in these tracks, a sense of bodies moving frantically in a space where time is obliterated by BPM.

    Nuxx’s reputation as a live performer precedes her. Whether in a cavernous club or a crumbling basement, her sets are a masterclass in calibrated mayhem—sweat-drenched, high-voltage, and absolutely unforgiving. Compilation LP distills that energy into a single, cohesive package, a document of an artist who thrives in the liminal space between dance music’s past and its unpredictable, unstable future.

Justice Divine "Self Titled"

1 3
  • There’s no doubt that France has produced some of the greatest Oi bands of all time. This rich history goes as far back as bands like La Souris Déglinguée and Camera Silens. Fast forward to today, bands like Rixe and Syndrome 81 continue to dominate the scene. It’s no coincidence that France was the epicenter of La Vague Froide—the first coldwave scene. Thus, it is only logical that it serves as the nidus for a hybrid of the two.

    Perfectly executing the unlikely combination of Oi and coldwave is Brest-based newcomer Justice Divine. The brainchild of Jacky Cadiou (Syndrome 81, Prisonnier Du Temps, Grisaille), Justice Divine makes their presence known with their self-titled seven-song debut album. The group seamlessly integrates driving anthemic Oi rhythms, incensed hardcore vocals, brooding coldwave synths, and oddly enough—ethereal Gregorian chants.

    Combined, Justice Divine takes a unique approach to the genre that leans heavier on the darker side that draws comparisons to “Second Empire Justice” era Blitz, Sisters of Mercy, and Death Cult.

Pet TV "Terrarium"

1 2
  • Pet TV, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Cody Bass, blends Britpop influences with a 90s slacker rock edge. Born and raised outside Jackson, Mississippi, Cody found a DIY music community that shaped his creative approach, teaching himself instruments as needed and playing in numerous bands. His debut album, "Terriarum," set to release on à La Carte Records, began as a pandemic project to dive into home recording and solo songwriting. Pet TV delivers fuzzed-out, no-frills songs with nods to Guided By Voices, Pixies, and Beck, crafting a sound that feels both fresh and familiar.

Mirror of Venus "Black Sky"

1 2
  • Mirror of Venus are Joy Damert, Jose Espinoza, Heidi Weber, and Margot Rhodes—a Los Angeles post-punk outfit whose time together dates back a decade, to nights spent playing in a small but tightly knit scene in San Francisco’s Mission. Now transplants in Southern California, they’ve found one another again, bonding over their love of late ‘70s/early ‘80s UK post-punk pioneers like The Durutti Column, Sad Lovers & Giants, and Wire.

    Their debut single, “Never Say Forever”, is a nearly six-minute rain of spidery guitars and feverish synths that began to take shape early in the pandemic, Rhodes starting to writing again as she first arrived in Los Angeles. Built around an insistent, almost haunted rhythm, it’s a meditation on what we lose when we give ourselves over to social media. 

    “The song is about a person who feels isolated from the modern world and begins to battle with an internal monologue that is trying to convince them that the only way to fit in is to completely lose their true identity and to succumb to a new digital version of themselves,” says Espinoza, also of LA darkwave project, Shock Doctrine. “The new self being obsessed with aesthetics, being photographed, and being perceived in a way that would suggest that this normally meek person is actually very wild and outgoing. Towards the end of the song the person begins to question their decision. The ‘voice’ in their head begins to fill them with doubt about their choice and then they begin to question the validity of the happiness that these people portray with their online presence.”

Welcome Strawberry "Stargel"

1 2
  • In the wake of a recent extended play and split seven-inch with Quinine, Bay Area heavyweights Welcome Strawberry are on a hot streak and leaving a trail of destruction in their path with the new 12” single, “Stargel.” Released on the formidable à La Carte Records, Welcome Strawberry eschews the saturated sounds of the modern shoegaze scene in favor of the more experimental sounds that canonically followed the shoegaze explosion in the 90s.

    Based out of Oakland, CA, Welcome Strawberry is the brainchild of Cyrus VandenBerghe (Still Ruins, Pink Breath of Heaven). “Stargel” is the amalgamation of all things counterculture spanning from the sixties to the aughts—melding elements of psychedelia, shoegaze, trip-hop, and electronica to create a five-minute tripped-out opus. “Inspiration was drawn from disparate sources such as the hypnotic loops of Seefeell, future pop sounds of 90s Madonna, and the psych dance groove of Jagwar Ma,” VandenBerghe says.

    Taking cues from old-school techno 12” singles of yesteryear, Welcome Strawberry enlists the help from three artists on the cutting edge of indie and electronic subculture to deliver three blistering remixes of “Stargel.” Cherub Dream Records recording artist Tricky FM creates an IDM-meets-ambient take on the track, crafting a blissed-out melody that lulls the listener into a trance-like state. Meanwhile, Kansas City’s forever ☆ create a UK garage spin on the song fusing breakbeat percussion and wall-of-sound harmonies. Finally, Kai Tak constructs a unique trip-hop spin on “Stargel” that sounds like it could be a hidden track on that scuffed Sneaker Pimps CD stuffed in the visor of your car. 

    The 12” single is mixed and mastered by Angel Marcloid, known for her work as Fire-Toolz, at Angel Hair Audio. Visual artist Bruno Lauzon Tanzi embodies the essence of the release with his characteristic y2k rave culture style adorning the cover of the album.

Executioner's Mask "...Almost There"

1 2
  • …Almost There’ is a 30 minute, 8 track EP by the dark post-punk band Executioner’s Mask.

    The band exploded with their Profound Lore Records debut ‘Despair Anthems’ which was praised by artists from Leviathan’s Jef Whitehead to The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle for its potent songwriting and stark execution. This was followed by the dreamy ‘Winterlong’ and its two hours of remixes by members of Full Of Hell, Deafheaven, Xiu Xiu and a litany of others.

    Stripping down each song down to its essence over three blisteringly hot days in Houston, TX, ‘…Almost There’ is snarling, noisy and crushing. The songs are visualized through the unflinchingly raw illustrations of Gerald Scarfe (Pink Floyd) and refined through production by Anthony Sanchez and Jack Endino (Mark Lanegan, Soundgarden, Dwarves).
