Knives sharpen
They're enamoured by his words
A frozen stare to me
I'll be the one to entertain your thoughts
Beneath the arches grow a starwort tomb
It would be nice to see you face to face
As i crawl out of this world
The butterfly of dreams is there
Is writing silence to you
A distant wailing
I can't see
Eyes are closed to die, devolve
St. Louis group The Mall make a debut as a two piece with dark, driving, and near-demented synth punk. Don't sleep (they won't let you.) Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2022
The Mall's fantastic debut LP, moody synth pop with shadowy edges and punk grit, gets a lovely vinyl pressing via Fixed Grin Records. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
