Back to the usual routine of weekly Friday posts, containing new music or events to consider. This is 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, continuing the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes thus far are here. The latest episode is /transmission/016, the first part of the letter L. /transmission/017 will follow soon.

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

A note about the releases that I feature here. This has never been intended to cover every single release in that week. It is more about highlighting notable releases, by either bands that I’ve long written about, artists that I’m intrigued by, or simply music that I like – and by extension that my readers may like.

Even with that caveat, mind, there’s an awful lot out this week.

Perhaps the most remarkable and unexpected release this week is the return of Heavy Water Factory with their first new album in two decades – Spillage, which builds on their trademark sound with some interesting new influences, and works out very well. A while ago (four years ago!) I spoke to Jesse McClear about the initial return on /Talk Show Host/012. Perhaps I need to reprise it…

Two veteran bands releasing new material today are Die Krupps, whose new album is Vision 2020 Vision, while in a very different realm, the regal tenderness of Tindersticks is back with No Treasure But Hope.

In more electronic releases: NOIR release A Pleasure EP, Salt releases machiakari on ant-zen, Beinaheleidenschaftsgegenstand released Monsters last weekend, and KLACK are back with another EP in the form of 2400bps 8​-​N​-​1. As well as all that, Soft Riot has released When Push Comes to Shove, and a new Keef Baker EP KBOCDC also snuck out.

Finally, Cyanotic have rebuilt their T3RM1N8T0R track, with a stomping new B-side.

/This Week/Upcoming Releases

Just the one new announcement this week – Assemblage 23 return with Mourn in the first half of 2020.

/amodelofcontrol.com/next week

Look out for /Tuesday Ten/389, and the much-delayed /Transmission/017 coming soon. Sorry for the delay on some of these – events in my life recently have reduced the amount of time I can spend on the site for a time.
