The Bleak Assembly invites you into new dark spaces with Strangers Among Strangers, a compelling exploration of shadow and light. This highly-anticipated EP showcases the innovative and familiar sound that only The Bleak Assembly can deliver.
Featuring six meticulously-crafted tracks, Strangers Among Strangers pierces the darkness, exploring themes of revenge, nihilism, and vulnerable introspection. Each track stands as a testament to the EP's sonic range, incorporating driving beats, aching guitars, haunting synthesizers, and mesmerizing vocals that create a sonically complex sound.
With Strangers Among Strangers, The Bleak Assembly pushes the boundaries of darkwave and post-punk, fusing howling guitars, electronic textures, and provocative lyrics to deliver a sound that is as refreshing as it is relentless. Drawing inspiration from both legends and the obscure while adding their unique creative vision, The Bleak Assembly has crafted an EP that will leave listeners aching for more.
Strangers Among Strangers is available now and completes the work begun on We Become Strangers.
UK industrial band, Binary Order just unleashed their new EP; a release containing three remixes of previously released tracks and a reimagined, industrial cover of Papa Roach's song, "Thrown Away".
Says Binary Order's creator, Benjamin Blank, "The song’s subject matter is something that resonated sharply with me when I first heard it. It's about being an outcast and only knowing a life of being rejected. It has continued to resonate with me till this day."
The Thrown Away EP is available NOW on all digital platforms.
42 years ago, American new wave band The B52’s released their 12” Party Mix! (July 1981). Party Mix! is a remix album, that came out in between their second album Wild Planet (August 1980) and their Mesopotamia EP (October 1981). Since most of the band’s bouncy songs were already dance-ready to begin with, one can see these remixed tracks more as great alternative versions, rather than real ‘dance’ tracks.
The original 12” featured six songs taken from their first two albums, all remixed and sequenced to form two long tracks, one on each side. On the CD version however, all the songs feature their own track.

German synthpop project, Meersein has introduced their new single, "Haunting"; a hauntingly beautiful song with a ghostly melody that lingers in the atmosphere.
Meersein sings about the memories of a love that is impossible to forget. The chorus is an earworm that will stick with you long after the song is over, capturing the feeling of being trapped in a love that taunts and lures you in, with nowhere to hide.
"Haunting" is a must-listen for anyone who has ever been haunted by a love that just won't let go.
Available on most digital platforms including Apple Music.
