Shadows Unleashed: ‘Smoke Show’ by Low Monroe & The Fugitives

‘Smoke Show’ by Low Monroe & The Fugitives

We’re checking in from the vibrant heart of Melbourne, a city that has repeatedly fascinated us in recent days with its rich musical heritage. Once again, the stage belongs to Low Monroe and The Fugitives, who never fail to delight me with their best post-punk side.

Their latest work, ‘Smoke Show,’ is like dancing on a volcano, a musical simmer that gradually builds up and is on the brink of eruptive release. The sonic atmosphere is intense, captivating the listener like nothing else.

Lyrically, themes of personal decay, betrayal, and confrontation with dark forces emerge. ‘Smoke Show’ is steeped in a moody tone, metaphorically revealing the abysses lurking nearby, hidden yet palpable.

Inspired by past luminaries of post-punk and the Gothic scene, Low Monroe and The Fugitives are now on their way to becoming a wellspring of inspiration themselves. If you have the chance, don’t miss witnessing this shadow-infused ensemble live!

#DanceNOW! Double Triangle, Carlos Ucedda - "I adore you (Double Triangle Remix)"

If the song sounds familiar to you now, we have already presented Carlos Ucedda and ‘I adore you’ once before; back then, the song was still very 80s (greetings to Luke Tangerine at this point). Together with Double Triangle, they take a step further into the 90s. You could almost say: ‘I adore you’ has arrived in the golden era of techno. The remix shows Double Triangle in top form, with good progression that keeps up the tension and simultaneously proves that, together with Carlos Ucedda, they can also capture the 90s flair magnificently and present it in the style of the 2000s. Great Remix of a fantastic Song by the end of the year!

OUTNOW! Dichtboi - "Wer bin ich¿"

"Wer bin ich¿" zeigt eine tiefe Identitätskrise und Sinnsuche des Menschen. Dichtboi symbolisiert den verzweifelten Versuch, der Realität durch Illusionen zu entfliehen. Der Text erinnert daran, dass wahrer Mut darin besteht, sich den Herausforderungen des Lebens zu stellen und Erfüllung innerhalb der realen Grenzen zu suchen, oder es wird zur Flucht in eine andere Welt, die leider oft nur einen Ausweg kennt. Und so bleibt am Ende der Beginn einer neuen Ebene der Existenz. Nachdenkliches von Dichtboi zum Jahresende.

#ListenNOW! ‘Impulsein (ft. Micheline van Hautem)’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle

Who hasn't experienced the initial excitement of new love? Intense and pulsating. Everything is new, and there is so much to discover. Jean-Philippe Ruelle picks up on this theme and stages it in ‘Impulsein’. While the first part is still characterised by this positive hectic pace, the second part plunges us into a continuation dominated by passion. The vocals and instrumentation are given great impetus by the sophisticated arrangement and bring a great deal of musical depth. ‘Impulsein’ by Jean-Philippe Ruelle and the beauty of an instrumental.

#ListenNOW! ‘Celestial’ by SINA

#OUTNOW! Eutanásia - "Eutanásia (Album)"

In his work, post-punk merges with electronic textures and guitars, drawing the listener into the dark alleys of existence; it is a descent into the catacombs of the underground, into the realm of longing and the unknown. Eutanásia (aka Pedro Werner) is the name of the artist who has just released his debut album of the same name. The lead single, ‘Doce Demais’ (feat. Two Internet Ghosts), is just a small excerpt from it and shows just one nuance of the multi-layered album. Not just for genre fans!
