INNERCITY - 'Backworld' LP (Release The Bats / Ikuisuus)
Second album from Belgian Drone synthscaper Hans Dens, following up the highly acclaimed "Future Life" LP. While being rooted in the Belgian underground alongside acts like Orphan Fairytale and Dolphins Into The Future, Innercity brings a more dystopic and bleak approach to the table with it's monotonous and rhythmic set of sounds. With a strange sense of melancholia and hopelessness, "Backworld" invites the listener to an intriguing maze-like journey. Mastered by Viktor Ottosson (Ättestupa). Ltd x 300 copies with insert.

LYDIA LUNCH & PHILIPPE PETIT - 'In Comfort' Picture Disc LP (Comfortzone)
This is the second time in less than 12 months we've found Petit working with an (in)famous female vocalist, trailing last years chilling 7" with Cosey Fanni Tutti, and this outing is no less unnerving. 'Return To Backworld' is a sombre instrumental opener for piano and glitched electronics, before 'Requiescat In Comfort' introduces Lydia's croaked vocal over droning, discordant strings and bleak, glooming drones. The centrepiece is surely the sumptuous ten minute composition 'Black Spring', entering a nether region of slowly waking symphonic strings and 4th world ambience woven around Lydia's dystopian narrative. Full colour picture disc in a PVC sleeve. Ltd x 500 copies.
