“Seven cinematic rock tracks from Japan, built around heavy guitars, piano, strings, and the feeling of trying to move forward when fear keeps pulling you back.”
From the shadows and beyond: Cliff and Ivy deliver a standout deathrock reckoning — chugging guitars, commanding vocals, and wilderness-steeped mysticism on Angels Eyes — while Song for a Gorgeous Blonde offers a downtempo excursion cradled in reverent church-like organ, and Annicka den trolösa fuses arty-proggy keyboards with spiky guitar figures. I Ya Toyah transforms Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" into a haunting industrial meditation on validation and digital identity, and PAHL! merges icy '90s electro-industrial with dark-pop electronica asking "What remains of us when everything turns digital?" Sektor Voltage pulls listeners into motorik-driven post-punk from Argentina's underground, while Tim Woodruff brings emotionally honest alt-rock built around the messy beauty of everyday life.

“'Snowdrift' is the first song on Ken Wohlrob's new experimental / ambient / electronic album, Forgotten Music.”
