The experimental electronic duo of Craig Dunsmuir and Sandro Perri reimagines an Arthur Russell track, with longtime Russell collaborator Peter Zummo guesting on trombone.

‘Lucky Cloud’ is the opening song on forthcoming album G70 2: Bones Of Dundasa out 1st May 2026.

“’Lucky Cloud’ serves to bookend the whole project in a way, since it’s the new album’s first recording chronologically (from 2004) while also containing its last recorded element (Peter Zummo’s trombone from 2025), making it simultaneously the oldest and newest track on the record. Thanks and gratitude to Peter for his key contribution, to Steve Knutson for approving our cover of the song, and to Tom Lee and the estate, memory and legacy of Arthur Russell. – Glissandro 70

20 years after its self-titled debut, Glissandro 70’s follow-up straddles the Album and Archive: a decade’s worth of recordings that were abandoned, lost in a hard drive mishap, recovered in the form of rough stereo mixes, reappraised with the balm of time, and restored/augmented/enhanced to forge a captivating new LP.

Glissandro 70 is the collaboration between Toronto musicians Craig Dunsmuir and Sandro Perri, first formed in 2003 as a mostly studio-based project of longform loop-based guitar and rhythm-driven experimentation. An eponymous (and up to this point singular) album appeared on Constellation in 2006, blending Dunsmuir’s afrobeat and Perri’s tropicalia influences through their shared reverence for Arthur Russell and dub techno.

While continuing to collaborate musically and foster a close friendship, Dunsmuir and Perri largely went on to helm their own projects thereafter. Perri transitioned from his ambient electronic sobriquet Polmo Polpo to a string of acclaimed singer-songwriter albums under his own name starting in 2007, with a side quest as ringmaster for the inscrutably leftfield electronic collaborations of Off World. Meanwhile Dunsmuir continued deploying lo-fi loops and broken beat iconoclasm as Guitarkestra and Kanada 70 (whose early tracks provided the original birthplace of Glissandro 70) and intermittent live concert Hi-life extravaganzas at the head of Toronto’s Dun-Dun Band (recently captured on wax for the first time by Ansible Editions).

G70 2: Bones of Dundasa arrives 20 years after the Glissandro 70 debut as an archival celebration, revisiting unfinished paths and re-assembling rediscovered recordings originally made between 2005 and 2015. The new album includes a cover of Arthur Russell’s ‘Lucky Cloud’ (augmented by Peter Zummo’s trombone newly recorded in 2025) and a previously unreleased Dan Bodan remix of the debut record’s ‘Bolan Muppets’, alongside 10 tracks of sample- and beat-based vignettes brimming with skittish guile.

Watch: ‘GOAT’ by No Terror in The Bang

French cinematic progressive metal collective No Terror In The Bang return with a brand new video for ‘GOAT,’ taken from their new EP Existence, released April 3rd via Klonosphere Records.
Directed by Les Maan, who previously worked on the band’s earlier videos, ‘GOAT’ was filmed at La Fabrique des Savoirs in Elbeuf, a unique museum space filled with animal figures and striking scenography that perfectly complements the project’s aesthetic. The video also incorporates elements of contemporary dance, shadow play, and experimental visual techniques, enhancing its immersive and organic atmosphere.

Forging a sound defined by tension and contrast, No Terror in The Bang move between fragility and fury with striking precision. Expansive atmospheres collide with sudden eruptions, creating music that feels both intimate and catastrophic. At the core stands Sofia Bortoluzzi, whose shape-shifting vocal performance anchors the band’s identity, seamlessly weaving ethereal clean melodies with visceral, gut-level screams.

Conceptually, Existence explores humanity’s downfall across multiple dimensions: cosmic, physical, social, environmental, and mortal. Each track exposes a different layer of collapse, questioning destiny, purpose, and our deeply rooted self-destructive instincts. A dark, immersive release that pushes the band into heavier, more oppressive territory, without sacrificing emotional impact.

Following the acclaimed albums Eclosion (2021) and HEAL (2024), Existence marks a decisive step forward for No Terror in The Bang, a release that confronts discomfort head-on and transforms it into something cinematic, intense, and deeply human.

Watch: ‘War on War’ by Frenchy and the Punk

Post-Punk duo Frenchy and the Punk present their new video for the powerful and compelling single ‘War on War’, along with an announcement of spring 2026 tour dates. Playing up to 100 shows a year, the duo thrives on the road. Now they are set to bring that energy to dozens of cities across the Midwest and East Coast before heading overseas for select UK dates.

Torchbearers of a new era in post-punk, Frenchy and the Punk was formed in 2005 by vocalist, percussionist, keyboardist and lyricist Samantha Stephenson and guitarist-composer Scott Helland, co-founder of Deep Wound (with Dinosaur Jr. icons J Mascis and Lou Barlow) and Outpatients, and also known for his exceptional solo music project Guitarmy of One.

Frenchy and the Punk, listed in the ‘Top 25 US duos’ by Yahoo! Music, is a powerhouse duo with a distinct sound, blending post-punk with a touch of new wave by way of electro-acoustic hybrid guitars, loop pedals, fiery live acoustic and electronic percussion, synth and rich commanding vocals.

The powerful video for ‘War on War’ was filmed and edited by Samantha Stephenson in New York State. The single itself was mixed and mastered by William Faith (The Bellwether Syndicate, Faith and the Muse) at William Faith Music Production, with vocal recording and production at Kale Shelter Studios by Hillary Johnson, known for her work with Jeff Buckley, The Misfits, Rufus Wainwright, The Ramones, Nile Rodgers, Vernon Reid and more.

Following ‘Not Under Your Spell’, released at the end of 2025, this is the band’s second release through Distortion Productions, having signed to the label after label-head Jim Semonik saw their performance at Dark Force Fest, in New Jersey last summer.

“This song is not only about war but also the deterioration of truth and destruction of progress. It’s the belief that the majority of people in this country and the world do not want to go backwards and do not want to see bloodshed,” says Samantha Stephenson.

“It is the frustration that the few, fueled by greed and lust for power, who manipulate for their and their cronies’ advantage, cause such grief and destruction for the many. It is a call to voice opposition to the chaos and insanity. It is a call for unity beyond borders.”

A veteran of the US hardcore punk scene, Scott Helland has spent years honing a dynamic, high-impact performance style that now drives Frenchy and the Punk’s electrifying live presence and genre-blurring sound. Over the course of his music career, he has shared the stage with Black Flag, Husker Du, GBH, C.O.C, Agnostic Front and CroMags, in addition to performing with Dinosaur Jr. on occasion.

Samantha’s artistic expression came from a completely different place, having started in dance, piano and the visual arts. These two worlds collided forming a musical incarnation that moves effortlessly from bombastic and driving songs to atmospheric and almost transcendent soundscapes.

Pittsburgh’s LOWSUNDAY presents ‘Nevver’ single (via Projekt Records).

Low Sunday Ghost Machine – White EP, their first all-new material in 25 years, is out now.

AA

Legacy postpunk-shoegaze outfit Lowsunday presents‘Nevver’, the final single from their new Low Sunday Ghost Machine – White EP, following the earlier-released ‘Love Language’ and ‘Soft Capture’. Released via Projekt Records and ranking second among Post-Punk.com’s Best EPs of 2025, this is the band’s first record of all-new material since 1999.

With early gothrock underpinnings, here Lowsunday capture a different energy than other tracks on this EP, with a slightly more down tempo and driving rhythm. Itt is uniquely sparse and delicate at times, relative to the band’s typically multi-layered approach regarding atmospherics and dense noise. The accompanying video, produced by Jer Herring, drifts between dark postpunk atmosphere and a homage to classic outsider cinema.

Born in the mid-1990s within the local Pittsburgh scene, Lowsunday (initially known as Low Sunday Ghost Machine) emerged as a "retro-futurist" pioneer, blending darkwave and shoegaze long before the genres saw their modern revival. Their legacy was cemented with their debut album Low Sunday Ghost Machine and the 1999 masterpiece Elesgiem, both of which were re-released via Projekt Records over the past 18 months (for their 30th and 25th anniversaries, respectively).

The band dissolved, leaving behind a cult reputation for mercurial sounds and blistering guitar work that set the stage for subsequent generations of alternative artists. Following a nearly 25-year period of inactivity, the band resurfaced as a duo in 2025—consisting of original members Shane Sahene (vocals, guitar, synth, bass, drums) and Bobby Spell (bass, guitar, drums).
”This is one of my favorite songs on the White EP. These lyrics are related to an increasing sense of apathy in the world – how it feels like even love isn’t enough sometimes and yet, the only fate worse is to let go of it. The feeling that happiness can be delicate and unhappiness can be so determined to take its place,” says Shane Sahene.

“This song touches on very early influences and the recording captured some of the most unique guitar tones we’ve ever used. What’s unusual is that, separately, Bobby had been working on a bass line and I had been playing this guitar part. It was serendipitous in how well they went together to form this song.”

‘Nevver’ is a case in point, showcasing the band’s legacy of creative experimentation and talent for weaving counter-culture cadences and weightless production with a sense of visceral vulnerability.

Bobby Spell shares, “’Nevver’ was enjoyable for the two of us to compose. I had been playing with this menacing bass line that happened to be a perfect match for a guitar part Shane had been working on. It gave us an opportunity to explore darker tones and indicated the need for a more sparce production. The almost plodding tempo made this song more challenging and fun, imbuing it with a combination of creepy darkness with a dash of humor.”

Watch: ‘Normalized Tragedy’ by dälek

Today, experimental Hip-Hop legends dälek release their latest full-length album, Brilliance of a Falling Moon.

Conceived, composed, and produced by Will Brooks (aka MC dälek) and Mike Mare, Brilliance of a Falling Moon is a sprawling, uncompromising record that speaks to the political timbre of the day. Taking its name from a section of Erik Larson’s 2011 novel In The Garden of Beasts, the album paints a fiery portrait of life and resistance in fascist America.

Recorded in the group’s Deadverse Studios over the course of 2024 and 2025, Brilliance of a Falling Moon’s beats are propelled by brutal, dust-caked drum breaks and cloaked in an ominous, otherworldly atmosphere. Taking aim at everything from The State’s suppression of information to colonialism and Trump’s demonization of immigrants, Brooks’ rhymes are practically burning with outrage at the current state of the world.

“When you listen to this, I hope you walk away with hope because we’re still fighting, building, and pushing.”

Check out the new video for ‘Normalized Tragedy’ below:

AA

Not only has dälek always presented an undiluted political stance in their music, the band is part of the continuum of bold, revolutionary hip-hop pioneered by Public Enemy and The Bomb Squad. dälek has spent decades carving out a unique niche fusing hardcore Hip Hop, noise and a radical approach to sound.

Founded by Will Brooks (aka MC dälek) and Alap Momin (aka Oktopus), dälek debuted in 1998 with Negro Necro Nekros, a sonic tour de force built upon thunderous drums, blissful ambient sections, and gritty, insightful lyrics. On watershed albums like 2002’s From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots (2002), Absence (2005), Abandoned Language (2007), and 2009’s Gutter Tactics (2009), dälek laid a template that added completely new textural and structural dimensions to rap music.

With this kind of musical and political pedigree, it makes sense that dälek would return with such a timely record that reflects all of our frustrations.

Once again the band has teamed up with artists Paul Romano and Mikel Elam for the striking package artwork.

Watch: ‘Serve Me Some Crime’ by Noir Addiction

Alternative-industrial rockers NOIR ADDICTION present their new single ‘Serve Me Some Crime’, a sarcastic manifesto about embracing chaos and contradiction, where rule-breaking, humour and non-conformity become tools of personal freedom. The accompanying video, with its black-and-red aesthetic, was created by ‪Jack Lucas Laugeni.  Favouring instinct and madness over routine, control and the suffocating seriousness of everyday life, this is the first postpunk-darkwave taste of the Pretty Things Don’t Last album, forthcoming via Berlin’s Soulpunx label.

AA

Noir Addiction is led by Sonny Lanegan, a seasoned musician and producer whose creative vision was shaped by cutting his teeth in Los Angeles’s high-octane music scene, where he honed his experimental style as singer-songwriter for White Pulp and co-founder of The Dead Good. The Spill Magazine finds this “somewhere between industrial grit and sardonic self-awareness. Drawing clear lineage from acts like Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode, Noir Addiction doesn’t just imitate its influences—it refracts them through a modern lens of irony and controlled chaos”.

Watch: ‘Luxury’ by The Family Men

Swedish experimental noise-rock outfit The Family Men return on May 8 with their second full-length album Co/de/termination, set for release via Welfare Sounds & Records.
To mark the occasion, the band have unveiled a brand new video for the track ‘Luxury’.

‘Luxury’ channels the band’s sonic identity into a single, tightly focused piece. As Echoes & Dust put it: “Built upon looping, intertwining rhythms and heavily processed instruments and samples, ‘Luxury’ distils the band’s unmistakable sonic identity into one focused strike. It’s a precise yet overwhelming construction – mechanical, hypnotic, and abrasive – and a perfect example of what we’ve come to expect from the proprietors of the ‘total harmful sound.’”

The band themselves add: “‘Luxury’ is heavily inspired by William Gibson’s writing. It also feels like it encapsulates every part of the new album in some way, so it fits really well as a final single before the release. The video was a collaborative effort between Gustav and this really talented guy from Stockholm named Henke Luhr, and we feel it reflects the music in a very fitting manner.”

AA

AA

Following their debut album No Sound Forever, The Family Men have spent the past years performing extensively across Sweden and internationally, building a reputation as one of the most intense and uncompromising live acts around. That relentless momentum feeds directly into Co/de/termination, a natural yet sharpened continuation of the band’s sonic evolution.
Pushing both intensity and precision to new extremes, the album refines their sound into something tighter, heavier, and more deliberate than ever before. Urgent yet controlled, abrasive yet purposeful, Co/de/termination stands as a focused and uncompromising statement.

Operating across a wide sonic spectrum, The Family Men resist easy categorization. Samplers, broken electronics, tape loops, and heavily distorted guitars collide into a sound that is both confrontational and immersive.

Their live shows, often accompanied by feverish VHS projections, towering waves of feedback, and vocalist Gustav Danielsbacka performing directly within the crowd, have become legendary for dissolving the boundary between band and audience.

With Co/de/termination, The Family Men further cement their position as one of the most uncompromising voices in contemporary experimental rock.

Florida’s death rock/goth artist SINISTER SHADOWS has released a music video for the song ‘Just Begun,’ taken from the self-titled debut album out on March 26th via The Doorway To label.

It’s quite a shift in style from its predecessor, ‘No One Home But Me’. Watch the video for ‘Just Begun’ here:

AA

Sinister Shadows was created out of the love of death rock and goth rock from the Eighties and Nineties – bands like Bauhaus, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, and Nick Cave.

Sinister Shadows ‘ mastermind, Ryan Michalski (Idiot Robot, Ryan Cosmonaught), ran a video magazine called The Gothic Box in Tampa Florida years ago and went to such venues as The Orpheum and The Castle. Sinister Shadows wants to bring back the darkness, romance and flair that has been long missed of this sound and movement.

The album was recorded at Ryan’s RPM Studios in Tampa throughout 2025. The album sees the participation of Ryan’s longtime music partner Clint Listing (The Slumbering) for an intro and outro to the record.

Watch: ‘Mirrorings’ by Void of Light

Glasgow-based post-metal collective Void of Light have unveiled the new video for ‘Mirrorings,’ the lead single from their forthcoming debut full-length album Asymmetries, set to be released on April 3 via Ripcord Records.

Clocking in at a towering ten minutes, ‘Mirrorings’ first premiered at Decibel Magazine, who praised the track saying: “Clocking in at 10 minutes, ‘Mirrorings’ offers a pretty solid introduction to these gloomy Glaswegians, a dynamic epic that shifts from pummeling sludge to melodic shoegaze-inspired dynamism.”

AA

The band had this to say about the new album and new song: “Asymmetries is the culmination of two years of hard work and exploration. Across the album’s five tracks, we set out to shape our own sound within a well-established scene, creating something that genuinely feels like ours. The closing track, ‘Mirrorings,’ brings the album’s introspective themes into a final, defining moment and represents what we feel is our strongest offering so far.”

Void of Light are a six-piece post-metal force built on contrast. Brutal yet deeply atmospheric, their sound fuses crushing riffs and thunderous drumming with melodic leads and carefully layered arrangements. Rooted in post-metal’s foundations but shaped by a wider spectrum of influences, the band carve out a sound that feels vast and aggressive, yet intricate and finely balanced through a keen sense of dynamics.

Following the release of their self-titled EP in 2022 and the two-track EP Enshroud in 2023, Void of Light completed a short UK tour and quickly established themselves as a powerful live presence across local venues and festivals. Renowned for their formidable performances, the band deliver an imposing wall of sound that is both overwhelming and precisely measured, drawing audiences into an intense, captivating experience.

On Asymmetries, Void of Light turn inward. Exploring themes of perspective, reflection, and internal conflict, the album charts a journey of reconciliation between the masks of the past and the truths of the present. 

To celebrate the release, Void of Light will perform their album release show on April 3rd at The Flying Duck in Glasgow with support coming from Codespeaker & Obsidian Sand.
