New Music

The Flying Luttenbachers – Terror Iridescence (GOD Records) / Two lengthy plunges into a horrifying abyss from one of my favorite bands in the universe. Always on the edge of sanity and taste. This seems a bit of a sequel to their most demented album Gods of Chaos as it… – Adam Grimord-Isham

VA – Exotic Functions: A Very Friendly Tribute to Throbbing Gristle (moon musiq) / This compilation was put together by the members of the Yugo wave / dark wave / industrial / italodisco DEEP DIVE DISCORD to pay tribute to one of our favorite bands: the experimentalists, the pioneers of “industrial”, the eternal legends, THROBBING GRISTLE. (h/t thismachinekillsmusic)
