Tropic of Cancer — A Color (2011)

And Also The Trees @ La Blogotheque

I can't recommend enough the excellent french music blog La Blogotheque. I discovered a lot of new artists through this blog. Their A Take Away Show videos are always a lot of fun. Of course, some artists that have been making music for some time are also showcased here. As it is the case with the post-punk band And Also the Trees. I love the new sound of this band who traded the electric guitars for acoustic instruments. For more music in the same vein I recommend the album Listen For the Rag and Bone Man (2007).

Lycia — Quiet Moments (2013)

This new album from Lycia delivers the usual darkwave / ambient music. It is their first album in 13 years! Their sound has not changed at all since their 1989 demo. Ideal for this time of the year when the air is getting colder and the leaves start falling. You can purchase the album via Handmade Birds Records.

The Daughters of Bristol — Velvet Curtains (2005)

I'm not perfect, I have my flaws. One of them is enjoying clone bands of The Sisters of Mercy. I just can't help it. I have listened to too much music by the Sisters and need something new (but not different). The Daughters of Bristol may not win originality contests but they certainly do a great impersonation of Mr Eldritch. Ok, I admit... maybe too much at times. But I just can't help it, I love this song. For more visit their bandcamp.

Corpus Delicti & Press Gang Metropol

I love the music of french goth band Corpus Delicti. I don't get tired of their sound and their music just gives me shivers. Unfortunatly the band had disbanded and disappeared for some time.

Well they have just returned under the name Press Gang Metropol. Of course, like most "aging" bands, the new sound is cleaner (with some clear New Order inspiration).

Little update (4/4/2012): The song Answers is available for free to download on Press Gang Metropol's Bandcamp page.
