🇩🇰 Sort Sol "Everything that Rises... Must Converge! " – 1987

A defining moment in Danish post-punk history, where raw intensity meets a more experimental edge. Dark, angular and uncompromising, it captures the band at a turning point between chaos and control.

🇩🇰 Kliché – "Aldrig mere / Militskvinder" – Generic cover — 1980

A bold 7" capturing Kliché’s uncompromising vision. “Aldrig mere” delivers sharp, urgent energy, while “Militskvinder” sets Chairman Mao’s words to cold, minimalist post-punk – a striking fusion of political text and mechanical sound...

🇩🇰 Kliché "Supertanker" – 1980

A landmark in Danish post-punk and new wave, merging icy minimalism with sharp political and technological commentary. Mechanical rhythms, deadpan vocals and a cold, industrial atmosphere make this debut a timeless statement of artistic rebellion.

Love this album...

🇩🇰 Ballet M(écanique) "For" – 1982

Atmospheric and avant-garde Danish new wave from Martin Hall’s short-lived ensemble. A haunting blend of poetic lyrics, icy melodies, and experimental textures that capture the dark elegance of the early 80s underground...

🇩🇰 Ballet Mécanique "The Icecold Waters of the Egocentric Calculation" – 1981

A cold, cerebral dive into the depths of industrial ambient and electronic minimalism. With Martin Hall in front Ballet Mécanique’s debut is stark and hypnotic, built on mechanical rhythms, distant echoes, and a chilling sense of isolation.

🇩🇰 Nelson Can "EP + EP2" – 2018

Minimal setup, maximum impact. With just bass, drums, and vocals, Nelson Can deliver a tight, no-frills sound full of urgency and attitude. This release combines their first two EPs into one punchy collection...

A fierce statement from the Danish underground that still sounds fresh and bold.

Ended the weekend and started the week with Stikling by Blue Lake released on Polychrome in 2022

Jason Dungan who is Blue Lake writes:

"This record began in summer 2020, when I was staying at Andersabo, Sweden, where I run an artists' residency. I had access to a nearby church, and would set drones going on the organ while playing clarinet and piano. I started working with the combination of these long, sustained tones, combined with acoustic instruments, where the sound's duration was only as long as a breath or the pluck of a string...

The word “stikling” in Danish means a cutting taken from a plant that is then set in new soil..."
