Drawing on influences ranging from reggae to folk, London's DRIFT. makes a clear statement of intent and targets patriarchy, racism and homophobia on her new unsettling track.
The single anticipates the new 12" EP that will be out September 8.
AVANT! Podcast for Phormix

VEIL OF LIGHT - Front Teeth
The Swiss Zürich-based act comes back with their third full-length recording.
Not even one year after their latest Ursprung LP, Veil Of Light give us ten new songs that mark quite a change of direction. The black&white artwork of their previous releases is gone to give space to one bold, full-colour look. The guitar-driven shoegaze-oriented fuzzy sounds of past records make way for a new focus on the Electronic, Industrial Synth, EBM-Wave spectrum.
Check out the opener Your Love with its throbbing synths and mechanical drumming, or the pressing minimal-wave of Soul In Ethanol; again, Sturm Und Drang's pounding industrial dance and Body To The Ceiling's doom electronics.
A new wave of New Wave is here and Veil Of Light are showing the way.
LP comes in printed innersleeve with lyrics, CD is a 4-side Digipak limited to 200
VEIL OF LIGHT review & audio premiere
It’s been 4 years now since the Swiss musician known only as M threw us into the glacial torrent that was the eponymous Veil Of Light.
The upcoming Front Teeth album is a significant shift to the dancefloor, but his vision is as bleak as ever.

VEIL OF LIGHT new album & video premiere
Zürich’s Veil Of Light come back with their third full-length. Front Teeth switches gears to more synthy EBM beats and colorful visuals, leaving behind the footprints of the earlier shoegaze sounds.

QUAL - Cupio Dissolvi EP
After the debut album Sable from 2015, Qual strikes back with a three-track 12” maxi-single.
Each one of these new songs explore a different dimension of Maybelline’s approach to Body/Wave electronics.
The title-track Cupio Dissolvi is what we may already call classic Qual: gloomy and throbbing, synth-driven and labyrinthine. A Bloody Blob explores new martial slants, with war-like timpani and a marching robot gait. Rape Me in the Parthenon is a 8 minute long dancefloor mayhem anthem scanned by some pounding techno drumbeat and EBM snare and pads. The most alert of you already checked this in some Ancient Methods DJset. By far the most extreme track Qual recorded so far.
“Buried in flowers with hands of gold / Buried together we'll never mold” shall be thy epitaph here, as well as your message engraved on virgin vinyl.
Physical copies available HERE
Digital available HERE

QUAL new EP review & audio premiere
Qual makes a return to the forefront of the esoteric minimal synth underground with the teeth clenching EBM grind of Cupio Dissolvi, a three-track EP that sees him moving deep into the recesses of hardline industrial techno.
