Dead Voices On Air – Silence, Melt And Mourn (Re:Mission Entertainment)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

Re:Mission Entertainment is proud to announce SILENCE, MELT AND MOURN, the new album from Dead Voices on Air, arriving October 31st, 2025. Created during preparations for a US tour, the album features new material alongside reimagined versions of songs from across Mark Spybey’s career. The live set will include selections originally released by Download, Beehatch, DVOA, and other collaborative projects. Working with Nathan Jamiel of The Drood and longtime friend Stephen Weatherall, Spybey approached the process by writing new music and revisiting older work with fresh arrangements and a renewed focus on vocals and song structure. SILENCE, MELT AND MOURN is a reflection of that journey, built on collaboration, reinvention, and respect for the creative voices that shaped it.

Swordman Kitala x Soft-Bodied Humans – Magada Biwuka EP (Third Kind Records)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

The transcontinental collaboration between Uganda’s Swordman Kitala and UK’s Soft-Bodied Humans continues. Following EPs on Brighton’s Phantom Limb label as well as a track on the SBH collaborative LP ‘Kaijupop’ on Turin’s Gang Of Ducks, the pair present here a set of tracks that originally tore up dance floors on their UK and EU tour.

The sound achieved on this EP combines UK-Caribbean influences like grime and dancehall dub with East Africa’s new wave of hard industrial sounding mutant dance music as heard on labels like Hakuna Kulala and Nyege Tapes. Honed and tested in front of lively tour audiences, the resulting EP is a consistently energetic set of dancefloor tracks that are both irresistibly anthemic and dramatic.

Swordman Kitala first made waves in the UK with the release of his ‘Kimbalagaga EP’ collaboration with Blip Discs, an innovative and infectiously dancey set that was promptly championed by the likes of The Chemical Brothers. He has since released on Village Cuts, Hakuna Kulala, Blue Tapes and guested on our own Fisty Kendal LP ‘Price Match!’ on Third Kind Records.

David McNamee is big chief and curator of the eternally adventurous Blue Tapes label, and producer of global dancefloor banger collaborations as Soft-Bodied Humans.

Moljebka Pvlse – An Expression Of A Poetry That Was Lost (Zoharum)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description: Once again, the Swedish-German project invites their listeners into its musical world, intricately woven from subtle melodies, warm, delicate drone structures, and the sounds of exotic instruments, over which hangs an aura of the extraordinary, shimmering with particles of light, bathed in summer sunlight, evoking fragrances from the farthest corners of the globe. Once again, MOLJEBKA PVLSE recorded the material with a four-member lineup. “An Expression of a Poetry That Was Lost” comprises two longer compositions, where, alongside electronics, we hear live instruments, and darker moments give way to exotic sounds, reflective melodies, and a fleeting aura of mystery. This is the next release showing that this band still has much to say…
The album is available in two formats: CD and LP.

The Tear Garden – Astral Elevator (Artoffact Records)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

The Tear Garden, the legendary experimental project of Edward Ka-Spel (The Legendary Pink Dots) and cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy), is set to release their highly anticipated new album, Astral Elevator. This record marks a significant return for the duo, delivering a soundscape that is both familiar and refreshingly new. As with their past work, the album is a journey through surreal, often haunting electronic textures and Ka-Spel’s distinct, poetic lyricism and mysticism.

Produced entirely by The Tear Garden themselves, Astral Elevator is a testament to the enduring creative partnership between Ka-Spel and Key. The album also features contributions from a stellar lineup of guests, including the late Dwayne Goettel, who provides a poignant and powerful presence. The sound is further enriched by the talents of Randall Frazier and Dre Robinson, and the entire experience was brought to its final form by the expert hands of Greg Reely on mixing and mastering.

In addition to the album’s release, fans can look forward to a full visual experience. The stunning artwork for Astral Elevator was created by Simon Paul, perfectly capturing the album’s ethereal and otherworldly themes. Furthermore, videos directed by Cory Gorski will accompany the singles due out during the album cycle.

Astral Elevator marks not only a return for The Tear Garden, but also their first record for Toronto-based Artoffact Records, home to many of cEvin Key’s other projects.

One Of Nine – Dawn Of The Iron (Profound Lore Records)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

Long have I listened to the songs of the Southron tongues, and low have I seen flung the banners of empires now unmoored in the tide of history.

I have traced the bloodlines of kings to the very marrow, weighed every rune that once lit the high towers.

And yet, this I cannot name.

They are the Nine. Shrouded, innominate, but ever present,
they descend across these lands like grave mist over the battle strewn dead.

Their song is the unmaking of the world. All hear the black melody dimly in the silence of Night’s shadow, as if faint voices behind the heavy door were singing to thee, beckoning to thee…

They are as crawling thunder before the Iron Shadow, Warlords and Heralds of the Hungering King.

A piercing chorus of rusted shrieking, a cloying dread of which none can find refuge, they carry not banners but the grim auspices of Doom.

Do not seek them.
Do not name them.

The Nine have risen.
Their song is heard through the door.
