A quick release-roundup before I head to Resistanz Festival next weekend.

This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.

/Releases out today or recently

/Album of the Week

04-Apr 2025 / Glare / Sunset Funeral / Bandcamp
Glorious Texan shoegaze that is sun-kissed and beautiful.

---

/New Albums

21-Mar 2025 / BÅKÜ / SOMA / Bandcamp
Thundering post-metal that grabs you by the throat.
21-Mar 2025 / The Infinity Ring / Ataraxia / Bandcamp
Pitch-dark, apocalyptic folk that sounds at least in part like Swans in their early-90s pomp.
04-Apr 2025 / General Dynamics / Where Animals Play / Bandcamp
Thumping industrial from a team-up of two masters of the craft.
04-Apr 2025 / Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs / Death Hilarious / Bandcamp
Another hugely enjoyable sludgy rock album from these North-Eastern loons, this time even bringing El-P along for the ride.
04-Apr 2025 / V▲LH▲LL / Skymningsdjur / Bandcamp
The ghostly witch-house of this Swedish duo continues to evolve into fascinating shapes.
04-Apr 2025 / Ghost Twin / Industrial Symphony No. 1 / Bandcamp
After the unimaginable tragedy of losing her husband and bandmate, Karen Asmundson has perhaps surprisingly elected to continue with Ghost Twin, and the first release is a recording of a David Lynch tribute that they did.
11-Apr 2025 / The Birthday Massacre / Pathways / Bandcamp
The best TBM album in many years, with a heavier, harder edge.

/New Singles/EPs

04-Apr 2025 / Glass Apple Bonzai / Bag of Bones / Bandcamp
There’s a new album coming later in the year, but in the meantime, some remixes and outtakes from the last – excellent – GAB album.
04-Apr 2025 / Mari Kattman / Anemia / Bandcamp
A punchy new single from Kattman, ahead of the new album in the summer.
04-Apr 2025 / Nyxx / Salt EP / Bandcamp
A cracking new EP of industrial-pop, featuring genCAB along for the ride too.
04-Apr 2025 / Slighter / State of Rage / Bandcamp
The upcoming Slighter album is promising a lot, and State of Rage is angrier and heavier than before.
08-Apr 2025 / Bellhead / Threats / Bandcamp
Two bass players, a drum machine and some great songs.
11-Apr 2025 / set dressing / I can’t be alone tonite / Bandcamp
The weird, unsettling electronics as an offshoot from Mandy, Indiana.
11-Apr 2025 / Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan / Overspill Estates EP / Bandcamp
More brooding, brutalist ambient from this quite brilliant electronic artist.

None this week.

/Upcoming Albums

25-Apr 2025 / Flesh Eating Foundation / Before the skeletal dance of our festering jesters / Bandcamp
The experimental group return with a seething album around politics and disability with a thumping bass undercurrent.
25-Apr 2025 / KAPUT / I / Bandcamp
Nadia Garofalo’s latest noisy-rock project prepares the debut album.
23-May 2025 / Stereolab / Instant Holograms on Metal Film / Official Label Store
A very unexpected album is the first Stereolab album in fifteen years.
30-May 2025 / Aesop Rock / Black Hole Superette / Bandcamp
Apparently digging into the weird, overlooked elements of life we don’t see, I suspect this will be dense, overwhelming listen.
06-Jun 2025 / Katatonia / Nightmares As Extensions Of The Waking State / Bandcamp
Just weeks after founding guitarist Anders Nyström announced his departure, the new Katatonia album has been announced, and judging on lovely single Lilac, the band are continuing the style that Nyström seemed so unhappy with.
06-Jun 2025 / Pulp / More / Bandcamp
Talking of unexpected albums, Pulp announced their first album of new material in twenty-four years yesterday.
13-Jun 2025 / Bootblacks / Paradise / Bandcamp
One of those albums that seems to have been coming for ages is finally nearly here: and the singles so far suggest a sleek, 80s lushness to the sound.

/Upcoming EPs/Singles

None this week.

/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues

22-Apr 2025 / Klangstabil / chronik / Bandcamp
Another retrospective compilation from the ever-excellent Klangstabil.

/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. The listing has had a revamp and redesign (and I’m re-adding events, so it’s a bit of a work in progress).

If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
