Escapism & the Search for Identity: ‘Thorns’ by WARTERAUM

‘Thorns’ by WARTERAUM WARTERAUM had withdrawn from the limelight for a while, but as the saying goes, ‘Good things come to those who wait.’ Now they’re back, not as a solo project, but as a duo, sounding better than ever.    Their latest release, ‘Thorns,’ serves not only as a preview for their EP but also as an auditory laboratory.   The sonic landscape was crafted using an experimental approach, incorporating various feedback and distortion techniques.

A Haunting Gasp of Existence: ‘I Fell’ by Whipper Snipper

‘I Fell’ by Whipper Snipper

In the very nexus where vocals nestle into the ear, their ethereal wriggling entwined with the vintage synth ambiance, where sensibility converges with sensuality and suffering births positive emotions, emerges the enigmatic electro band Whipper Snipper from Melbourne, Australia. It was in 2023 when they released several works into the market, and one of them is/was ‘I Fell.’
Dark post-punk that never abandons its dreaminess provides us with a picture shaded in Siouxsie and the Banshees hues. The gray-on-gray mood, simultaneously monotonous and agonizingly deeply emotional, evokes an atmosphere akin to the final gasp of existence, a faint pulse that whispers a haunting tale.
