“Tempers’ acoustic version of the track is less eerie but just as unsettling (in a good way), with Golestaneh’s vocals front and center. ‘The title comes from a phrase in the lyrics: ‘My strange harvest / will taste sweet again.’ The song is about having compassion for the experience of depression, how it can skew your perception of reality into terrible contortions, but you can always draw hope from the transient nature of things–knowing that once clouds have passed and the darkness has shifted, things will be bright again,’ she explains.”

“The mechanistic aspects of “Strange Harvest” remain constant throughout, an insistent thump that’s halfway between Factory and Wax Trax!, while Jasmine Golestaneh’s vocals become increasingly distorted and blown-out. Within its four minutes, the slow burn of “Strange Harvest” reaches a point of self-immolation”

“Von Haze and Silent Servant showcase a contemporary assessment of intensely personal (but symbolically dystopian) themes, while Ike Yard and Grauzone’s black waves of synth punk hint at the crux of The KVB’s primary fixations. Sixties vanguards Delia Derbyshire (wobulator matriarch) and garage freq Joe Meek reflect back dreams from a forgotten vintage future. And The KVB’s own remix of Eraas’ ‘At Heart’ exhibits the duo’s knack for reimagining the circuitry of others’ dreams.”

“Brooklyn psychedelic duo Von Haze that we posted about back in 2010 here sent us their latest video for their track “Mother Mountain” and we are loving it! A dark, minimal, ominous sounding track that would fit perfectly in a horror movie, kinda like the video they did for it.”

“Now back in NYC after on year spent in London, Von Haze plays minimalistic electro-trip-goth that carries a bagagge of dark, decadent influences ranging from Suicide to Joy Division, from Velvet Underground to Dead Can Dance.”

“With all this Hurricane Sandy nonsense going on, New York City seems to have collectively forgotten that today is our most sacred day of the year, All Hallows’ Eve! We needed to address this oversight, so we hit up artist, musician, and Brooklyn spookster Todd Pendu. Todd also happens to run Pendu Sound Recordings, a voguish Brooklyn label that puts out dark, spooky artists like aTelecine, Chelsea Wolfe, and Von Haze.”

“Lulled by The Grateful Dead and George Harrison, but perverted by Royal Trux adolescence, Liza Thorn and Matthew Koshak ignored the references to create a folk teigneuses twilight, halfway between Smog and Mazzy Star, cultivating the passage of dark palettes that have attracted tenants label Pendu Sound Recordings (Chelsea Wolfe, aTelecine).”

“In 2008, Grey formed aTelecine, an industrial music collaboration with her friend Pablo St. Francis. No mere side-project, the group’s line-up has swelled to include additional members Anthony D’Juan and Ian Cinnamon, and has released no less than six albums in two years; the seventh, Entkoppllung, has just come out on Dais Records. It’s their second release on Dais (home also to records by Cold Cave, Robert Turman, Psychic TV, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Iceage and Prurient), following 2010′s creeping ambient debut ‘…And Six Dark Hours Passed’, and their most impressive full-length since the terrific A Cassette Tape Culture (2010), which like most of their records was issued by New York witch-house stronghold Pendu Sound (Chelsea Wolfe, White Ring, Mater Suspiria Vision).”
