Synthesizers surge and shimmer: SOFT RIOT's Crux channels the early '80s DIY synth spirit into a masterful full-length of post-punk, darkwave, EBM and Italo — "disquieting and melodic all at the same time." Modern Ideas' This Is How It Hurts brings Melbourne garage synth-pop that's "dramatic, theatrical, and cinematic" with Depeche Mode and New Order in its DNA. Paixomenos' Victory Parade prowls the Greek underground with dark synthwave and dungeon-synth shadows, while Fixed Expression's An Unclear Path urges you to embrace your pain across a post-industrial synth album.
