UPDATE: Whoops, the scheduled posting for this didn’t fire. Oh well. Pretend it was supposed to go out on Halloween!
It’s time for October new music. In this episode, we mostly sort of hit the mark of having spooky haunted music for the spookiest of months. First up, we have a love letter to the synth tunes of 80s science fiction and fantasy media from Belbury Poly. Then, we dig into Dave Clarkson’s exploration of mourning and loss by way of abandoned locations around the British Isles. Both provide a unique hauntological look at our past. Grab a bucket of your favorite candy and check out these albums with us!

In this episode, we're digging into contemporary South Korean horror films and television. To tell you the truth, this was supposed to be about the music, but really we mostly just talk about the movies themselves. We cover some of our favorites from the last 20-25 years of South Korean cinema and try to understand how it compares to the type of media we usually cover on the show. I guess if you wanna listen to two white guys talk about South Korean horror films then this is the episode for you! So join us and check out these films.

In this episode, we’re checking out Deconstructed Club, or post-club, a genre that seeks to push back against the tropes of club music and explore the boundaries of various styles of EDM and IDM. We (very) briefly discuss the genre’s history, how it did or didn’t click with us, and explore a variety of DJ sets and mixes from YUNG SHIRO 白. Ultimately, deconstructed club is a fascinating blend of club genres, post-industrial, grime, and so much more and offers a rewarding experience to the persistent listener.
Huge thanks to Isaac, aka YUNG SHIRO 白, for all of his help with this episode. Check out his stuff!

It’s time for our monthly new music episode! What month do you ask? We’re not saying! We definitely didn’t call the July episode “August New Music.” Stop asking.

Anyway, in this episode, we’re exploring the duality of man as expressed through music. First up, we have a beautiful ambient album from Bon Odori that moves seamlessly between bliss and despair. We then blast off to the optimism of the 80s with some masterful vaporwave/future funk from Late Arcane. Grab a copy of these albums and join us!
