🇬🇧 The Cure "Seventeen Seconds" – 1980

Minimal, haunting and drenched in atmosphere. This album defined the early gothic edge of post-punk. Sparse guitars, icy synths and Robert Smith’s distant vocals create a soundscape both fragile and unsettling. A cornerstone in The Cure’s evolution and a timeless dark classic...

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...

🇬🇧 Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead" – 1979

A haunting and hypnotic cornerstone of gothic rock. With nearly 10 minutes of echo-drenched minimalism, dub basslines, and spectral vocals, this debut single shaped an entire genre.

🇬🇧 Soft Cell "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" – 2018

A haunting deconstruction by Dave Ball himself, this Lateral Mix strips the classic down to its emotional skeleton. Sparse, atmospheric, and cinematic, it trades pop drama for moody introspection. A twilight rework that feels like walking through empty streets at closing time...
