FEBRUARY 2021 Noise Artists' playlist

And in no particular order:

R. MISSING has released a little gem of a Electronica with inspiration in dance music and Dream Pop. R. They say that their genre probably ends in -wave. Darkwave, New Wave etc. Recently they toured Europe with Russia's Motoroma before COVID. Tricky (Massive Attack) sampled/covered one of our early tracks (twice actually). You will understand why when listening.

If you like your Shoegaze Powerful, Fast and High-Octane, look no more and lend both ears to Japanese newcomers (one year and almost 10 songs) BLOOD PICK ME. Amazingly mature and well crafted songs. Listen with volume high.

JEREMY BASTARD is a New York City based producer, musician and DJ His music is a really good mix of Post-Wave, Goth, Shoegaze, Electronica, DJ all rolled into one. A really nice Vinyl is available on Somewherecold Records.

IKITAN is a Post-Rock band from Genoa, Italy. Their first released is an Epic 20mn track with beautiful dynamics and change in atmosphere. Their music is very unplanned, meaning that all the riffs and ideas heard in the album happened to be played by the band during jam sessions. 

“We play a genre that can be defined as heavy post-rock and our influences are quite varied. Not having a vocalist gives us total freedom from the intro-verse-chorus-repeat approach," says Frik Et, bassist of IKITAN.

“None of us offers complete songs or definitive ideas to the other guys. We always let music guide us and improvisation plays a key role too. It’s a totally free approach to music,” continues Luca Nash Nasciuti, guitarist of IKITAN.

"IKITAN is our opportunity to experiment and put together a whole range of styles,” concludes Enrico Meloni, drummer of IKITAN.

An other crakcer of a song by the Italian / Irish duo of SUBMOTILE. They have a unique sound that I love.

FLU FLU is an project from Seville (Spain) with very positive and well done Nugaze. On our friends of Shoredive Records

SHIMMERANCE (Russia) has released the B side of their Ep ‘Shimmerance’. Gutsy.

Chicago’s WHIMSICAL new release from back in October is excellent. Dreamgaze from one of our favourite artist, Krissy Vanderwoude, and Neil Burkdoll.

“Paraísos Artificiales” (“Artificial Paradises”) is the first album release by SACRE-X, the solo project of the berlin-based Peruvian artist and producer Andrés Ortega. The album presents both a continuation in the psychedelic and experimental ambient pop direction, as well as an introduction into the world of sound collage and experimental sampling. This song has an heavy Dream Pop influence.

Some nice Post-Punk by SEVEN TO RHINE, from Greece, in their first release.

A folk ballad, which I love the chords and cello part of, by KARL MCCANN from Liverpool (UK). Very bare, very beautiful.

Just in time for Peruvian Independence Day, I have posted my part two Peruvian goth bands video!

There is a far broader range of genres in this video. While the video focusing on 1980s and 1990s goth bands mostly featured general post-punk, this video gives us bands that are darkwave, coldwave, gothgaze, deathrock, industrial, and gothic hard rock. Information about the bands themselves, however, is a bit more sparse.
