Industrial post-punks Convert have the first single out from their upcoming debut album. Incredibly tormented, the song is about asphyxiation – your last gasp before you’re gone. A menacing bass line rumbles underneath the tidal waves of gothic melody, like you’re driving home in a treacherous storm. Stay tuned for their record “SAVES” in the months to come.

It’s got a dreamy surface that gets progressively more nightmarish as textures are added in and out. “Petrichor” is a good example, beginning with a tensely produced melody that descends into a freezing trance. If you’re

Indie rockers Bandoleer Bacall released their new album this past week. In a sunny psychedelic flavor, many of these songs bring themes of escaping trouble against the clock (“Matryoshka Madam” and “Easter Sunday”) as well as the dangers of love (“Laundry Room” and “Dracula Days”). Adam Jerome’s lyrics shine with esoteric provocativeness; it feels like the soundtrack to a 80’s
