A note from this shelf

From the raw and the restless: Baby Combat's 12 / Pop Is The Noblest Genre collates fuzzy, hook-led guitar songs with nervous energy and a scrappy post-punk edge into one essential double album. Coma Beach's A Madman's Dream/Mind Descending fuses punk's feral bite with post-punk's cold precision, drawing on Beckett, Schopenhauer, and 30 years of controlled fury. Sektor Voltage's En otra dimensión pulls listeners into motorik-driven, danceable dark atmospheres soaked in '80s Frankfurt and Belgian New Beat nostalgia. Chris of Wilderness's War Horny cruises through the apocalypse with paranoid electronics, exploring eros and thanatos across art rock, hip hop, and post-punk. Jacob's Fall's Lost In Silence delivers dark, atmospheric rock dipped in melancholy and steely determination.
