DJ Picks of the Month May
Looking to map out your next music purchase? Check out the Communion After Dark DJ's favorite albums of the month!
Having difficultly locating where to buy this music? Since most stores in the U.S. don’t stock music from the genres we play it can be a real pain, but you can go our route: mail order. We use the online store Isolation Tank. Many labels, such as Metropolis Records, also offer CDs, and most artists have posted their libraries on their own sites, such as Bandcamp, or at the major digital outlets, such as iTunes, Amazon, etc.
Paradise Pick for May
MONO Inc. - Terlingua
Terlingua has a very distinct flavor, contrasting German and English lyrics, European vibes with wide open Texas plains and crunchy guitars with more pop driven elements. Terlingua takes the listener on a journey, but it is never jarring, instead it is artful and oftentimes majestic.
Maus Pick for May
Technolorgy - Dying Stars
“Dying Stars” is Technolorgy’s second album – yet in many ways it is their first. Where the debut was in many ways a compilation of tracks written individually and over several years, “Dying Stars” demonstrates the smooth conceptual feel of a record written to be heard as a whole – and steps away from the duo’s dark electro roots in a significantly synth-poppier direction.
Griffin Pick for June
Phosgore - Pestbringer
With PESTBRINGER, the creative (and blasted) minds behind PHOSGORE – Flo and Sonja – managed to reinvent and augment their already hard-line noise. Brutal bass lines congregate with shattering drums and extremely aggressive melodies. This is music which infects its listeners like a virus. With PESTBRINGER, PHOSGORE are darker and dirtier than ever before.
