Steve Hauschildt NONLIN (2019)

album's been out for a whole damn week and yet to get a review in the Zine of Record, so I am dusting off my special blogging keyboard to let you know that the most maestro of propulsive-yet-calming synth odysseys is here to tie you to the mast and sail you straight into the future

Chromatics CLOSER TO GREY (2019)

Portland's own, arguably most influential contribution to the state of modern music.  The emotional state of meta goth, emo-thrice removed, submission to, subversion of, oblique answer to commodification.  pop for those with ankle bracelets and docked wages. pop for those with alimonies.
