Alexander Boe – Coffee Shops/Broken Legs
Single | 30/05/2025 | SHVR Records
8:35 | Digital
Noise Rock / Shoegaze
Tel Aviv Yafo, Israel
This eight-and-a-half minute sonic journey is a real tidbit for lovers of stream-of-consciousness literature and short stories. With this melancholic and emotional tale, Tel Aviv’s Alexander Boe prepares us for his upcoming longplayer The Experimental. Coffee Shops/Broken Legs is defined by hazy and misty sounds in the colours of blue and grey. It is a story about frustration and caffeine, about a meditative search for harmony and artistic expression. And it is indeed an emotional rollercoaster consisting of three major parts. With a very noisy and experimental vertex in the middle, this parabolic sonic adventure beautifully describes the mood swings of its story.
Love•Love•Love – First Love
EP | 01/11/2024
15:57 | 4 tracks | Cassette/Digital
Post Hardcore / Sludge
Lübeck, Germany
For the first moments, Love•Love•Love’s debut EP appears to be raw black metal release, but then the band Northern Germany solves the puzzle and reveals the real depth of their musical enterprise. It is indeed a rough sound that coins the sixteen minutes of First Love. Nevertheless, Love•Love•Love present a highly versatile soundscape here as they slide back and forth between post hardcore, sludge, noise rock, and even shoegaze. Heavy riffing dissolves into atmospheric passages, and emotional themes succesfully melt sharp-edged breakdowns. And while this powerful EP makes you feel fragility and courage simultaneously, you may wonder if this was not what hardcore should be all about?
Sex Swing – Golden Triangle
Album | 18/10/2024 | God Unknown Records
42:11 | 8 tracks | Vinyl/Digital
Noise Rock / Psychedelic Noise
London, England
Sex Swing’s third longplayer Golden Triangle was inspired by the eponymous region which spreads from Myanmar over Thailand to Laos. This vibrant, mysterious and fascinating sphere is home to steady movement and activity, and a deeply psychedelic power amidst this constant bustle. Thus, Sex Swing did a fantastic job turning the soul of the Golden Triangle to score. Looping patterns of noise rock and experimental soundscapes create a meditative environment. This unique musical trip may make you discover untold truths about yourself.
We will dance again
