I've always enjoyed Boy Harsher but I don't think they ever really clicked in my brain until I watched The Runner. Now I can't get enough.
Favorite track: Autonomy (Ft. Lucy - Cooper B. Handy).
GOTO GOSUB
My ears pricked up when I heard this featured on the "Synthwave Top 10" podcast, Jan. 2022.
Favorite track: Give Me a Reason.
The Horla
Love the music and the film. More please!

My favourite review of this said something like "Sounds like Jesus & Mary Chain covering Grouper in a cave located somewhere off the northern coast of England." Sold.
Favorite track: Never Came Close.

A gothic treasure, among my favourites in the genre, and utterly suited to my mood this month (Jan. 2026). Motorik bonanza! Agree that it gets a bit redundant, but the best tracks (CS, NCC, PL, DH, perhaps CE) are magnificent.

All-time top 10, a masterpiece. The mood and atmosphere of the whole album is something to behold. If you like it dark, melodic, and hazy, with an ethereal veneer, there is no way around it.

Their cleanest instrumental work yet, very pleasant synth-oriented direction. Slowdive doesn't age🙏
Favorite track: shanty.

I wasn't a huge fan of Slowdive, but when I heard Alife for the first time it really struck a chord. All songs in this album are magical!
Favorite track: alife.

The legendary Killing Joke whom basically invented Industrial Rock with their self-titled debut then went on to become one of the greatest Industrial Metal bands since the 90's. They are a goliath with tons of great albums to offer, and this one is a strong contender for their very best!
Favorite track: This Tribal Antidote.
DAS VILLAIN
I'm still heartbroken that Geordie passed! He was a one-of-a-kind guitarist from one of the most unique and aggressive bands, ever! Hosannas is proof of that. I've been a fan of KJ for over 35 years and saw them for the first time in 2019! It was one of the best and most incendiary (in a great way) concerts I've ever seen in a very long time! RIP Geordie!
Favorite track: Walking with Gods.
