Another glimmering and elegant as always synthpop cut off Modern Mirror, the anticipated upcoming album by enigmatic dark pop act, Drab Majesty, has been revealed. Long Division finds imposing figures Deb Demure and Mona D in great form, this time alongside the vocal contribution of No Joy's Jasamine White-Gluz.

"Long Division points to an elusive impasse one may face in a personal relationship;" Deb Demure comments, "a fundamental difference whether it be culturally, physically, or emotionally, that reaches a tipping point where both people involved have ultimately lost sight of their own identities through the futile act of trying to accommodate one another. It’s about a crafted dissonance in an attempt to harmonize."

Modern Mirror will be released on July 12th, 2019 via Dais Records.

Sit tight and revel, because heavy post rockers and D//E favorites, Russian Circles are back with the announcement of their seventh studio album and the presentation of a brand new track. Blood Year comes out August 2nd, 2019 on Sargent House, introduced without more ado by Arluck, a percussive and riff-heavy dynamite of a lead single.

Blood Year was recorded in the band's hometown, Chicago, at Steve Albini’s notorious Electrical Audio, once again with expert producer, Kurt Ballou. The new album follows the more intricate approach of Russian Circles' previous masterpiece, Guidance, from 2016, and promises to be one of the most forthright and forceful works the band has ever released. In six and a half minutes of immersive heaviness Arluck certainly delivers, as expected.

Coming straight from rock 'n' roll megacity, Austin, Texas, Teenage Cavegirl, comprised of L.A. (vocals, drums) and Andy Ray (guitar), deliver an uncomplicated, straightforward garage rock sound full of grabbing immediacy and trash pop aesthetics.

Last year the band put out a wonderful seven-inch single and shared stages with Holly Golightly, The Scientists, and Fred & Toody of Dead Moon, and now they're cooking up the release of their debut ten-inch, Candy Cigarettes which comes out June 1st, 2019. The record was cut at Big Orange Studio in East Austin by Stuart Sikes, whose credits include The Oblivians, A Giant Dog and The White Stripes' milestone, White Blood Cells.

Streaming for the first time ever, right below, comes the colorful and very much vibrant clip for Space Girl, a vibrant garage rocker, alive with sixties pop class, eighties punk grit, and positively enamoring in its less that two-minute candidness. This is pure rock 'n' roll, back to its unvarnished and super fun roots.

Tour dates:
June 1 - Austin, TX at Panther Haus (Release show)

Not only a very much aspiring work for Kristin Hayter herself, but also one of the most cutting edge and progressive new pieces of music of 2019 this far, Butcher of the World is the first track unveiled off Caligula, the anticipated forthcoming album by Lingua Ignota. Following the self-released and well received, All Bitches Die, from 2017, the new album will be released on July 19th, 2019 on Profound Lore Records.

Creating an avant garde compound that draws from harsh noise and extreme metal to even classical music and opera, Butcher of the World sounds delicate and bare while utterly sinister, intricate and intimidating. The song evidently seems to be stepping away from the industrial approach of Hayter's earlier releases, and on balance it is definitely hard to pin down, yet, it's strong impact is undeniable.

Caligula was engineered and mixed by Seth Manchester, and mastered by Heba Kadry, and features contributions from Sam McKinlay (THE RITA), Lee Buford (The Body) and Ted Byrnes (Cackle Car, Wood & Metal), with guest vocals from Dylan Walker (Full of Hell), Mike Berdan (Uniform), and Noraa Kaplan (Visibilities).




Lingua Ignota — On Tour:
June 7  Little Rock, AR @ Mutants of the Monster
June 9  Austin, TX @ Austin Terror Fest
September 13-15  Hudson, NY @ Basilica Soundscape
November 8  Austin, TX @ Levitation

The enlivened and enhanced, now LA-based dark act, Clay Rendering are preparing to release their upcoming LP, California Black Vows on June 14th, 2019 on the great Hospital Productions, and after the arresting leading single and video for Don't Understand You, they unveil another gloomily mesmerizing piece, the more traditional, folk-inclined, Black Vows.

A steady paced and melodious march, Black Vows is centered on the haunting and enchanting vocal of Tara Connelly, and it comes strongly evocative of gothic folk's standard vanguard, with its instrumentation and amazing production, courtesy of Dylan Neal (of the experimental electronica act, Thief), factoring in extensively to the overall magnetism. Clay Rendering's new endeavors convey credence and intimacy, together with boundless darkness, and their forthcoming album is expected to be true to its promise that it's going to be their most fully realized work to date.

Sannhet's Short Life was released for the first time as part of the Adult Swim Singles program in 2016. The stellar track is now getting a physical release on seven-inch vinyl, paired with a brilliant cover of Joy Division's, The Eternal, featuring the spine-chilling vocal contribution from Vaura's Josh Strawn.
