Distorted Romanticism: Nady, Dunaewsky69, Clathrus, and King Imagine

Four projects from Moscow and Kiev consider private desires within the contrary pressures of civic existence. The result, not surprisingly, produces a certain tension; it soon takes the form of audible distortion.

Glo-Fi Flashbacks: Neon Lights, Electrosound, Sunday Morning, and RTFM

Fedor Koniukhov Tribute

Here's a wonderful and easy chance to familiarize yourself with an important netlabel, home to a wide range of impressive artists. Yesterday the Heavy Mental network announced a new, free compilation dedicated to the explorer Fedor Koniukhov, shown in the middle of the post, sporting considerabl...
