Infacted Recordings extends its contract with this Belgian electro project by releasing their 5th album called 'Anhedonia'.
Formed in 1994 by Geert de Wilde, and soon discovered by Dirk Ivens, IC 434 deals in this album again with subjects as society criticism, animal abuse, archeological mysteries and astronomical descriptions, linked with personal experiences Geert has had with death and mental pain. 'Anhedonia' is defined as the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable.
Although the sound of the 12 'Anhedonia' songs is still based on the 80's Korg M1, IC 434 does not create a typical old school feeling, but a kind of timeless dark electronic, atmospherical and 'danceable' music, combining musical elements from today and earlier on.
The album is available at all regular webshops and your local store!
Just like last year's edition, there will be a Factory Noise Festival at Shadowplayfestival featuring the best of the current industrial sounds.
All info can be found at their Facebookpage and of course soon on Peek-A-Boo too!

Rusted Rail is proud to announce the release of "Soft Wounds" by Songs of Green Pheasant. Following a trinity of releases on FatCat records, "Soft Wounds" is Songs of Green Pheasant's first release since 2007.
The musical project of Sheffield-based Duncan Sumpner, Songs of Green Pheasant have now found a home for their homespun candle-lit narcoleptic folk at Rusted Rail. Written and recorded by Sumpner on 4-track and 8-track machines, the album's dreamfolk-pop stylings are cloaked in a gentle fog of impressionistic instrumentation and cloudy harmonies.
An ideal late night or rainy day listen, these hazey transmissions reveal a sonambulant songcraft which can proudly nestle comfortably next to drifting pioneers such as Hood, Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis.
Wrap up warm for the winter with Songs of Green Pheasant.
This CD is housed in a hand-assembled and hand-stamped recycled card sleeve featuring artwork by Duncan Sumpner.
