It’s Friday, therefore time for the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects artists and music that I cover here.

/transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – has returned this week, continuing the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes thus far are here. The latest episode is /transmission/014, getting through the letter J and moving onto K.

You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher, and is also now available on the Google Podcasts App (search “amodelofcontrol”) and Spotify too.

If you want to submit anything to be included here? E-mail me (You know what to do with that to make it work, right?), comment/message on Facebook at the amodelofcontrol.com page, and over on Twitter (@amodelofcontrol).

/This Week/New Releases

Having taken a week off last week, there’s a fair bit to catch up on.

Out last week were: the astounding, intense power of LINGUA IGNOTA’s CALIGULA, Saul Williams returned with Encrypted & Vulnerable, and The Flaming Lips have edged back to what might be called their “normal” on King’s Mouth. This week sees two albums I’ve been waiting for, in the synth-led melodic pop of Body of Light, with their new album Time to Kill, and Icelandic indie band Of Monsters and Men return after a few years with third album Fever Dream.

Also out this week is a notable reissue – a twentieth anniversary (!) remaster of Velvet Acid Christ’s breakthrough – and best – album Fun With Knives.

/This Week/Upcoming Releases

The ever-intriguing Cold In Berlin, a band who’ve evolved their sound substantially since their early days – have moved to a new label and release their fourth album Rituals of Surrender on 11-Oct, and I’ll be talking about lead single The Power next week. Out on the same date is a new album from Null Device, Line of Sight. Rather sooner, Nature of Wires release Modus on 16-Aug.

The forbidding ritual fury of Trepaneringsritualen gets a new chapter on 09-Sep, with the release of ᛉᛦ – Algir; eller Algir i Merkstave on Cold Spring, and then an intriguing Polish post-metal/post-rock band Tides From Nebula release From Voodoo to Zen on 20-Sep.

Rather helpfully, too, Glitch Mode Recordings announced their upcoming releases in one post last week, which appears to include a new Cyanotic release.

Two notable new singles announced this week: Chicago experimental post-punkers Ganser have a new track Bad Form, a precursor to their second album coming in due course. I’ll be writing more about this next week, but watch the video. In the first of a two-part single release this year, Comaduster releases Riverbound on 13-Aug.
