“The communal gurn of a sweat-stunk back room, the heat and the steam of a DIY shoebox that’s packed tight with low light and writhe… This is all that’s imagined and conjured up during ‘Killadelica’s 42 minutes…”
Gothic
“Hearing the switch between hardened and heart-broke, it surprises, draws in, pulls us close. We learn not to expect outright acts of defiance, but we glimpse at what goes on behind…”
“It’s a new set of ash-smothered sonics, an EP of remixes of songs never made, ideas stripped before ever seeing daylight. Spectrograph’s mini-album is caustic and lean with a roughshod apocalypse kick…”
“Between the bleak freakouts and moodboards, like a signature Vukovar trick, are the full-bodied gems of lost pop songs, lifted straight from a bootleg cassette…”
“It might not be as blunt or as brutal as those who excel in the hard games of powerplay, but it works as a seedy flick freakout; flirtatious, unnerving, and sultry…”
“‘Hollow’ is still as dystopian and bleak as anything ‘Part One’ delivered, but here the organics take over…”
“If this version hadn’t managed to own itself so completely, I’d miss the original’s weight. But with so much between them, with such different takes, it’s unfair to compare and contrast…”
“There’s a surprising soft elegance to Bearcraft’s new album, a range of sounds unexpected from singles released that mixed coldwave with dark electronica…”
“Between A-side highlights and a B-side that flies by, Fake Flowers Never Die is an intriguing slice of deceptively slick new wave indie…”
“Monsters’ is equal parts subculture cool, passive violence and vintage geek chik.”
