🎸 New Model Army - First Summer After [from the upcoming album 'Unbroken' (January 26th, 2024)]

"And when the madman stole the keys in the dark dead of the night
Our luck we couldn't believe, like a strange shift of the light
It’s the kindness of other people we have built our lives upon
It was the first summer after and the last summer before"

Just heard this great record from this amazing band, Sprain, and also just learned they're breaking up. Bummer.

Oh I didn’t know they were breaking. That is a bummer. I really like this album but it’s definitely not for everyone. Their previous works are good too and maybe more accessible.

[Fresh Track] Rivers Cuomo - Halik / cover of the Filipino song by Aegis

Youtube: https://youtu.be/pQsGm7KiSw4

I think this cover was released in the lead up to the concert here in Manila.

I'm honestly impressed by ' s , you can tell he worked hard on it. It's as good as a non-native speaker can get.

Halik means kiss, and the song is yearning af: missing your kiss, why did you leave me, I'm hurt whenever I see you, etc.

The original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mndmzSbDw1E

is basically Filipino with female vocals, screeching about heart break at the top of their lungs with zero capacity to chill

Continuing to love 's hybrid / sound.

Yeah The Soft Moon is very unique, I think his sound is getting more industrial and experimental with each release. I prefer post-punk so some tracks are challenging for my ears but I’m glad he’s pushing the boundaries and doing his thing!

Window_Error_Noises ,
@Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world avatar

Challenging is a great descriptor, haha! If any artists come to mind, I’m curious as to what else you might recommend along a similar vein? I have Soft Moon spread across very different playlists, and some tracks just hit me right in the gut, and are best avoided. Listening to an album straight through requires a, uh, specific kind of mood, but I very much appreciate their skill and eclecticism.

I'm deeply envious of how much postpunk there is in Latin America. I swear half my post-punk playlist is in Spanish.

[Fresh Album] Public Memory - Elegiac Beat /dark dreamy trip hop

Bandcamp: https://publicmemory.bandcamp.com/album/elegiac-beat
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3hpr9l0cwu3ZYQqBP1OWRu

I don't even know how to describe the genre. DJ guy occasionally sings plaintively over dark Hop and spooky beats. Eerie dreamy music with overlaps with and . I loved the three previous albums so I am hyped for this drop. Music to listen to when your soul leaves your body.

Tamaryn - Cranekiss (2015) / shoegaze like Cocteau Twins

Youtube: https://youtu.be/XIO2tvOJSqc

Bandcamp: https://tamaryn.bandcamp.com/track/cranekiss

The album is also called Cranekiss. I've known of this artist before but I played a different album on repeat, Dreaming in the Dark (2019), because that one's closer to darkwave. This is a gorgeous single and now I have go through her entire discography.

Apparently she's from but is now based in LA

The General Strike - Pugon (2016) / Filipino blues rock

Youtube: https://youtu.be/PE2zGYX4QTw

This song was played in the ending credits of the . The entire album slaps and it's all about the experiences and suffering of workers and labourers. I'll post the translation in a bit since there's a word count limit on Mastodon.

@useless_modern_god Nope it's English, it's an Irish-Filipino production. Most of it is filmed in Ireland and there are some flashback scenes in the Philippines but they're subtitled.

I like the movie, it goes in really surprising places. I haven't seen another English-language horror movie covering global south labour exploitation so it deffo gets bonus points for that one.

The Soft Moon - Burn (2015) / postpunk-industrial with strong NIN energy.

Youtube: https://youtu.be/tIVB9x-HDzg

Bandcamp: https://thesoftmoon.bandcamp.com/track/burn

@alternativenation

Encromion ,

Decent. I dig it. It’s a little more geared towards a dance club or something than NiN but with a lower BPM than some others that come to mind (Celldweller). The singer sounds a bit like Greg Puciato - a little more emo than angry.

@alternativenation I'm always looking for recommendations for online radio stations that play alternative and indie music! Let me know your favorites!

StarkestMadness ,

If you’re okay with paying a subscription, SiriusXM’s Alt Nation is the main one I listen to.

Tim_Eagon OP ,
@Tim_Eagon@dice.camp avatar

@StarkestMadness Yep, we have SiriusXM. Alt Nation is one of my presets, but I principally listen to 1st Wave on Channel 33.
