Floor-to-ceiling Boris ragers! It’s like they looked back on songs like Statement and Woman On the Screen and said “let’s do a whole album like that!” Most of these tracks don’t even pass 3 minutes! Zerkalo holds up the middle with some anguished doom. In the end, *NO* is as strong and declarative as it’s title.

Scratch or Stitch
by Melt-Banana
supported by 9 fans who also own “Leeching”
Classic early, noisy Melt-Banana. They can do no wrong but this is an excellent starting point to trace their musical evolution over the years. There's also a lot of nostalgia in this album, I remember saving a low quality quicktime video of Sick ZiP Everywhere to a CD-R as a kid in the very early 00s when I first fell in love with MxBx and watching it constantly. I couldn't get enough almost 25 years ago, and I can't get enough today.

We Are Always Alone
by portrayal of guilt
supported by 8 fans who also own “Leeching”
Bleak and hopeless... and I absolutely love it. Hard to pick a favourite track, honestly; all of them are masterpieces in their own right.

Screamo, post-rock, and a little black metal meld together for Virginia quartet Infant Island's signature immersive and melancholy sound.

Hymnes aux Désarrois de la Peau
by Infant Island
A four-way screamo split from Infant Island, Massa Nera, Frail Body, and Dianacrawls captures the atmospheric urgency of their scene.

Screamo with a sense of urgency that calls on big shoegazey guitar melodies to channel its chaos.

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime.
