[LISTEN] Closed Circuits | Lucifer



They say the Devil has the best tunes... 


This is a work of Fire, and Fire will illuminate and burn without discretion. 


It was written and recorded during a time when large parts of the World were quite literally aflame. 


It is a reminder of your strength and your sovereignty. 


And with that in mind, this one is for me.

[LISTEN] AGENCY | SELF TITLED DEBUT



Producer, IOD label-sub and one half of Berlin’s Operant, Agency will release his debut, self-titled EP on Instruments Of Discipline on November 11, 2019. 

The EP is a club-aimed release, martial rhythms, granular feedback, vocal chants and primal-scream therapy extractions are wound together with heavy kicks, the track titles form a small piece of prose, a vision lifted from a Boschian nightmare.

[PREMIERE] FJERSTAD // 8​-​Circuit Neurorgasmic Trigger


"8-CIRCUIT NEURORGASMIC TRIGGER" IS THE DEBUT FULL-LENGTH UNDER THE SURNAME OF MULTI-DISCIPLINARY L.A. ARTIST (CHAD) FJERSTAD. THE ELECTRONICA LP IS A FULLY DIGITAL EXCURSION PRIMARILY INSPIRED BY SOME OF THE FINEST STALWARTS OF THE UK 90'S (LFO, ORBITAL, THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS, ETC), WHILE ALSO PULLING INFLUENCE FROM A FULL TIMELINE OF TECHNO, ELECTRO, AND JAPANESE SYNTH MUSIC SUCH AS YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA AND 16-BIT VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACKS.
AFTER EXPERIMENTING WITH THE FUSION OF DIGITAL AND ANALOG SYNTHS ON HIS 2015 MORE EPHEMEROL LP, FJERSTAD MADE A DECISION TO SEPARATE THE TWO, OUTPUTTING FULL DIGITAL WORKS UNDER HIS SURNAME, WHILE ALL FUTURE MORE EPHEMEROL WORKS WOULD BECOME ANALOG-CENTRIC.
FJERSTAD HAS BEEN MOSTLY RECOGNIZED AS THE BASSIST FOR HEAVY GUITAR-DRIVEN BANDS SUCH AS DEAD TO FALL AND THE PRIMALS BUT AIMS TO PRODUCE A CONTINUOUS STREAM OF SYNTH-BASED OUTPUT AS LONG AS LIFE ALLOWS HIM. HE RUNS HIS OWN IMPRINT, EPHEMEROL NIGHT TERRORS, WHICH HE RELEASES A GREAT QUANTITY OF HIS MUSICAL WORKS THROUGH, AS WELL AS HIS BOOKS, WHICH HE HAS PUBLISHED THREE OF TO THIS DAY (12-20-2018).


"8-CIRCUIT NEURORGASMIC TRIGGER" RELEASES DIGITALLY TODAY AND VINYL RELEASES MID FEB. 2019.
ALL MUSIC BY CHAD FJERSTAD
THE RECORD WAS MIXED BY MATIA SIMOVICH (INHALT, SRSQ, ETC) AND MASTERED BY HUNTLEY MILLER. AND FEATURES A GUEST GUITAR SPOT BY MICHAEL KEENE (THE FACELESS).
ARTWORK BY MATT FISHER + COLIN STRANDBERG

[LISTEN] A Place Both Wonderful And Strange // The City Smells Like Cat Spit EP




A Place Both Wonderful And Strange is the Brooklyn-based "occult electronic" duo of Russ Marshalek and Laura Hajek. The David Lynch Foundation commissioned a performance by A Place Both Wonderful And Strange  that both toured and sold out venues like MassMOCA, PhilaMOCA and The Great Southern. They have opened for the likes of The Crystal Method, Father Murphy, True Body, Tamaryn, Azar Awan and Pictureplane. 

The City Smells like Cat Piss surprisingly doesn't leave a bad smell or taste in your mouth after listening instead leaving you in enclosed in a chill ethereal electronic pod where aurally you are taken away to another plane or etheric realm of musical shadows and mysterious whispers across a hauntingly eerie landscape. With their dark and moody echoing sound there's little wonder they caught the ear of David Lynch himself.

A Place Both Wonderful And Strange have an upcoming show January 4th at Our WickedLady in Brooklyn, NY

[PREMIERE] OFFERMOSE // "Mørkt Forår" (featuring Of The Wand & The Moon, Grift.)




Mørkt Forår is the first full length album from Offermose coming out October 12th. A somber journey through a world of endless sorrow. The title track features the vocals of Kim Larsen (Of the Wand & the Moon) and Grift on psalmodikon. The track Stjernernes Taage is performed alongside Angst (Den Sorte Død). The cover depicts the passing and final breath of the mysterious E.N. Cold wind flows from parted lips as the spirit leaves the body. The true awakening of life.




The title track Mørkt Forår is a dark venture into an unknown sojourn where we meet somewhere between our first and last breath. Offermose perfectly crafts an audible experience that is both immersive and evocative. Through a mixture of ambient sounds, strings and nostalgic synth, Mørkt Forår superbly fuses eclectic soundscapes that unravel into ascension and dissolution.

If the debut track is anything to go by the full length album out  this October will be a masterful journey into the somber and articulate underwood of Offermose. 



"I saw the seasons change like stages of putrefaction in my decaying flesh Spring came darkest of all sprouting death-like flowers through puss-filled pores Silent screams choked by earth echoed in my skull from a thousand dead Bodies buried deep below forever suffocating in their final breath" - Offermose





This release is a collaboration between Third Coming Records (Paris/Copenhagen) and Pomperipossa Records (Sweden) the label run by Anna Von Hausswolff.

The full length album Mørkt ForÃ¥r will be released October 12th.

LORN // REMNANT



Self-described as "Pain Management" LORN's "REMNANT" is the personal embodiment of struggle and the audible bloodletting is testament to that internal battle. LORN takes refuge in manifesting his melancholy and desolation through his art and it shows. There is an evolution in LORN's sound, a rawness and eagerness to let go and what he leave behinds with REMNANT is a musical pilgrimage of fearlessness and hope. 





"clouded, farther than the periphery, smeared electronics flood the stairwell. banished formants glow through chain links. a distant storm, an empty breeze is stuck on pause. shapes contest their own shadows in the noise. my mind is hunted, tangled and wrung out by endless phantom waves. offer them the REPLIKA."

CELESTE XXX

Photo by @deadmansjoy13




Based in Los Angeles, CELESTE XXX is a dark wave musician with shock value and dark feminine tones to her music and performances. Often explosive and unapologetic, she experiments with realms of her personality with hints of inspiration from cult horror films and deities. She leaks her on stage persona into the transformation of the face through makeup artistry exploring the avant garde. 









Her vocals whilst sultry and full of sass, pack a dark synth-pop punch to the hips whilst delivering unabashed confident feminine power prowess. Celeste's onstage persona leaves little to the imagine and nor shouldn't it. She is unafraid, raw and on her own mission to delve into herself and the feminine contradictory universe we create. 

Celeste XXX succeeds in exorcising her demons and sexual female rebellion and does it all to one hell of a sexy groove and dark electro lusty beat.
