Pittsburgh-based darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday present‘Call Silence Remixed’, a 2-track released via Projekt Records, involving two artists with deep histories in the dark-music world, each of them finding their own unique way to re-envision the same song. Taking the original ‘Call Silence’ in radically different directions, together, they create a striking conversation between post-punk, EBM, industrial, darkwave, drone and ethereal music.
The ‘Silent Tribe Remix’ by Psychotribe (aka Peter Guellard from DEATĦ B¥ LØVE) pushes the song into EBM and electronic territory, transforming its post-punk tension into something darker, more mechanical and hypnotic. The ‘Call Silence’ Remix by Sam Rosenthal (founder of Projekt Records and the creative force behind Black Tape For A Blue Girl), uses stark drones, spacious electronic layers and distant vocals to uncover a more vulnerable, emotional and atmospheric side.

Formed in 1994 as Low Sunday Ghost Machine, they emerged as a ‘retro-futurist’ pioneer, blending darkwave and shoegaze long before the genres saw their modern revival. Their legacy was cemented with extended re-releases of their 1996 debut album Low Sunday Ghost Machine and 1999 masterpiece Elesgiem (for their 30th and 25th anniversaries). Having played an integral role in Lowsunday’s history over the years, Rosenthal served as an important catalyst in their return to music in 2025 after a nearly 25-year hiatus, now a duo made up of original member Shane Sahene (vocals, guitar, synth, bass, drums) and Bobby Spell (bass, guitar, drums).
Their recently-released Low Sunday Ghost Machine – Black EP and preceding White EP (ranked second in Post-Punk.com’s Best EPs of 2025) presents the band’s first new material released since 1999. Both a reflection and a resurgence, these Lowsunday releases usher in a welcome return, marked by superb production and a renewed creative clarity, bridging three decades of distinct sonic legacy with balanced doses of escapism, dreamlike sounds, drones and feedback.
