Album Review: Molchat Doma - Monument

Ulysses Luevano

Monument is the third full-length studio album by Belarusian post-punk band Molchat Doma. it was released on November 13, 2020. It was recorded in their hometown of Minsk, Belarus in the midst of the Covid-19 global pandemic which caused the cancelation of their 2020 tour. I love how each song in this has its own memorable tune to it and it's just a beautiful experience listening to it. and you can just tell how much effort and passion there is in them. It stands at the intersection of post-punk, new-wave, and synth-pop. Dark yet danceable, and with a substantial dose of goth quintessence, their music is reminiscent of the masters that predate them, but make no mistake: Molchat Doma creates a sound and meaning that is immediately recognizable as all their own. Every album hits me differently. this album is special you can really hear 80s revival influence, Another legendry masterpiece is rising, their greatest strength has always been their songwriting, and they’ve only gotten better. I rate this album 10/10.

Falso Techos is a brand new ep by Spaniard Post-punk New Wave musician Luz Futuro, it was released on December 21, 2020, If you are nostalgic for the Spanish music of the 80s, the young Canary artist Daniel Benavides del Pino a.k.a. Luz Futuro is your man. He is undoubtedly one of the most interesting proposals with which we closed 2020 full of new musical discoveries. Thanks to his father's musical influence when he was nothing more than a "pibe", Luz, manages to create a completely fresh and renewed new version of pop, rock, and new wave that sounded in one of the golden eras of music in Europe. Imagine for a moment what the music of groups like Duncan Dhu or La Unión would look forward to if they continued to produce with a direct look at today's society, for that is Luz Futuro; a nostalgic who bets on a past he did not even live and that leaves us even more doubts about whether reincarnation exists. It got this airy retro wonder jangle guitar and harmonizing vocal

Album Review: Tears For Fears - The Tripping Point

The Tripping Point  is the seventh studio full-length album by the English band Tears For Fears, It was released on February 25, 2022.  Tears for Fears is not a band I thought I would be listening to new material from, but they deliver a record that is a masterful example of balancing assimilation of modern techniques and trends into their music and maintenance of their original synth-pop 80’s style. As a fan of their classic albums and especially their hot singles from then, some of which remain to be some of the greatest pop hits of modern music, I enjoy that this album preserves their original sound whilst taking advantage of new technologies. Usually, when artists of their period release new music, it sounds extremely dated. This album breaks away from that and is both refreshing and nostalgic. I rate this album 8/10.
