„You Will
Find Them In The Basement” - London modern synth wave scene
Today’s post is about an album released by
French electronic label Desire Records in March 2013. This compilation album
was prepared by the artists sharing the same or similar music interests and
choices, mainly to document the atmosphere and sounds from basements of music
clubs located in Hackney and Dalston, East London. Therefore it can be
described as the overview of the modern synth wave groups from the London
underground scene.
This record
was pressed only in vinyl and its tracklist is as follows :
A1 –
LEBANON HANOVER – Cadaverously Quaint
A2 – LINEA
ASPERA – Attica
A3 – MILD
PERIL – Alpha Zone
A4 – TEAM
PI$$ - Low
B1 – GERTRUD
STEIN – U-Bahn
B2 – NOI
KABAT – I Corrode
B3 – SOFT RIOT
– Cinema Eyes
B4 – A
TERRIBLE SPLENDOUR – Garcon Dans Le Vent
I would
like to pay special attention to four of these artists like A Terrible
Splendour, Lebanon Hanover, Linea Aspera ( unfortunately now disbanded ) and
Gertrud Stein. Especially, the first of them, A Terrible Splendour has a big
potential to grow up musically and achieve well deserved success. This is duo,
MM Lyle ( vocals, synthesizers ) and Martin Block ( vocals, synthesizers ), and
they released last year an album titled “Poseurs”. They describe their sound as
“a darkly luxurious synthesized pop, fractured through the broken lens of a
cursed Berlin”. For more info please visit their website http://www.aterriblesplendour.com/
In conclusions,
I truly recommend to listen to all these artists which songs were compiled on this
album. Also I recommend to watch and listen a few tracks from album “Poseurs”
by A Terrible Splendour and one track by Linea Aspera "Attica" ( links below )
