RE: https://social.coop/@adamgreenfield/117049317192887130
I find MØL pretty poppy overall - melodic, polished, big hooks and almost triumphant build-ups. I think they're great. It speaks to a pathetic side of myself that is easy to ridicule, but that I've decided to happily embrace. My favorite album of theirs is probably Jord from 2018, e.g. the track Virga is pretty good: https://moeldk.bandcamp.com/track/virga-2

Cairiss – Wilderness Review By KilljoyTowards the tail end of last year, a humble group from the UK called Asira shook up my top ten list. Little did I suspect that I would hear from some of these fine musicians again so soon. Five out of the six members of the blackgaze band Cairiss contributed in some way to As Ink in Water, and now they break a decade-long silence since debut album Fall. Wilderness seeks to express and overcome personal trauma and suffering while also validating those of its audience who are waging their own solitary or unseen battles. As such, this work of art transcends sole beauty or entertainment value to extend an invitation to process and heal in whatever way may be personally needed.
Wilderness is both a continuation and amplification of the potential teased on Fall. Cairiss remains rooted at the intersection of the gossamer elegance of Sylvaine and the blackened anguish of Unreqvited. This is an uncommon type of blackgaze that successfully flits between grandiose and intimate. Freya Brown, who previously handled all vocals, is now devoted primarily to those of the harsh variety.1 Her hard work paid off—her snarls and screams are much sharper, more expressive, and more dynamic all-around. Newcomer Lydia Williams takes charge of the clean singing with similarly breathtaking results. Additionally, the instrumental melodies are more poignant; hints of Asira’s and Opeth’s soulful, progressive guitarwork can be found throughout Wilderness (“The Guide,” “Dissociate”).
In my review of As Ink in Water, I noted that Asira showed a mastery of contrast, and this is even more true of Cairiss. It’s particularly evident every time the different vocalists overlap. When Lydia’s operatic singing crests into view in “The Guide” and interlaces with Freya’s fierce growls, the effect is chill-inducing. On the mellower side, “Integrate” brings Martin Williams’ voice to the forefront for the first and only time on Wilderness as he and Lydia harmonize into a blissful siren song. But perhaps no song encapsulates Cairiss’ wondrously dichotomous nature more than album closer ‘Wildfire.” It sounds like Freya poured every ounce of feeling she possessed into each syllable of her screams, which are periodically assuaged by soothing singing and an emotive guitar solo. I’m impressed by how well Cairiss can bring together such opposing elements without one ever overwhelming the other.
Wilderness is also well-balanced in other ways. This is a carefully constructed album wherein every moment serves a purpose. None of the songs ever stall or dissolve into aimlessness. Crescendos and climaxes arrive and depart in a smooth, natural flow (“Retrace,” “The Guide,” “Dissociate”), facilitated in large part by Connor Frapwell’s percussion. He excels at building and releasing dramatic tension, evoking the ebb and flow of a thunderstorm in “Retrace” and helping the extended intro of “Nervosa” feel much shorter than it is. The total runtime is a sensible 43 minutes, suggesting a good deal of self-editing, and I’m left wanting more as the final howl in “Wildfire” dies. If I have any complaints about Wilderness, it’s that I wish that the bass lines were a bit more prominent.
Time does not heal all wounds. Some must be confronted head-on, and that is what Cairiss does heartwrenchingly and unequivocally. While I wish that it had not needed to be born from a place of such anguish, Wilderness is one of the most authentic and cathartic pieces of music I’ve heard this year so far. Cairiss has leveled up considerably in the last ten years, each member’s individual strengths shining brightly in a musical subgenre where contrast is intrinsic. Fans of blackgaze—or the beautiful sides of metal in general—should heed the beckoning to venture off the beaten path into the Wilderness.

Gestern gab’s ein tolles Undergroundkonzert in der #blackbox in #Nürnberg.
Die spanische Band #Murmur zeigte eine eindringliche Performance mit Schwerpunkt auf ihrem zweiten Album „Red Hill“ das historisches Erinnern - spanischer Bürgerkrieg und darüber hinaus, Cerro Rojo - mit Gesellschaftskritik und mystischen, okkulten Motiven verbindet.
Support gab’s von #Anaphylaxie @anaphylaxie, die alle Songs ihrer kommenden „Temperamente“ EP zum Besten gaben, sowie #Solae, ebenfalls aus Nürnberg.
Drei einzigartige und abwechslungsreiche Bands; ein sehr heißer und schwüler, aber lohnenswerter Konzertabend.

#introduction
hey, it's Umut from İzmir, Turkey. you can also call me hopei've been creating music for over 10 years now, starting with drums, then quickly evolving into guitar, bass and vocals, followed by synthesizers, weird signal processes, abstract and dark sounds as i grew up.
my sound pallete includes #blackgaze #doom #metal #mathcore #skramz #hardcore #techno #acid #electro and anything in between x)
it's refreshing to have a platform without monetized capitalized corrupted dopamine trap casino bullshit algorithm.

Hey #DJ's! Where do you get music from? Do you just buy singles or go for the full album?
What hardware do you use?
I plan on going full out with an older #rackmount compressor and EQ. Totally overboard with a moderately expensive broadcast mic. The other usecase is livestreaming the events, plus broadcasting #InternetRadio. Ideally with a XMPP chatroom and DJs beside myself talking between songs like on good FM.
I need to build up a solid offline collection so I can start spinning in #GothClubs.
