Wax Lead Minneapolis, Minnesota
Wax Lead ("led") is the product of instruments salvaged from fires and alleyways, east-coast bluntness at a mid-west tempo, a grand piano on a zip disk, gunshots in the night, and the pile drivers of gentrification. Throughout it all, Axelrod's soulful voice carries a flickering light. ... more

This might be my favourite of Heilung. They've improved a bit on their later releases but their debut is still much meaner, and darker. Maria's amazing voice obviously steals the show but I also quite like Kai's too, especially on the live performance. In fact I'd say get LIFA over this IMO. The spoken word bits are really cool to hear proto-germanic in use but for relistening purposes they are going to be a bit obtrusive. Nevertheless the proper music here is on continual repeat for me.

Cinematic-scale goth from Reflection Black with catchy melodies, dreamy synths, punchy rhythms, and a sense of timelessness.

Portland's Sex Park are diligent students of Manchester new wave...but there are even more synths.

Half Eaten By Dogs
by The Serfs
This isn't the first album from the Serfs, but it has the ferocious, listen-to-this-immediately quality of the best debuts.
