Daily Jam - You Better Stay Alive

Good morning.  Dig on some cold war vibes from '80s Slovenian band Demolition Group.  "You Better Stay Alive" is a minimal and lo-fi darkwave dream, icy synths from the other side of the Iron Curtain.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Stock Exchange

Here's some throwback minimal, coldwave electronic from the early '00s to start your week with.  One of the things i love about Miss Kittin & The Hacker's first album is that it sounds like it could have come out at any time between 1980 and now.  Listen to "Stock Exchange" below, our Daily Jam.

Echo Instinct

Echo Instinct is the electronic project of Kat Day and Nicholas Wood, the duo behind the synth-laden, shoegazey band The KVB.  New album "Electronic Soundscapes for Post-Industrial Urban Decay" dropped last week and is an icy and meticulous piece of work, music for a cold and gray world.  Listen to "Imagined Order" below and get the cassette here.

Optic Sink

On the upcoming new album "Lucky Number," Memphis trio Optic Sink make a groovy and catchy mix of minimal synth pop and post punk.  "Construction" sounds effortless cool, and for some reason, makes me want to smoke a cigarette.  Check it out below and pre-order the LP here from Feel It Records.

DOOMLODE

Here's some cool, apocalyptic music from UK outfit DOOMLODE.  The new "DOOMLODE1" EP uses icy synths and samples to make a post-industrial, minimal wave, and ambient soundscape for the barren wastelands waiting for us in the maybe all too near future.  Check out "Chemical/Biological Warfare" below and get the lathe cut 7" here from Fonolith.

Chimère FM

Chimère FM is the French duo of John Cravache and I:Cube.  The two artists have teamed to create something to akin to an old alien transmission just now being received around the planet in basements and garages on old, staticky radios.  Strange electronics, cold drones, and mutant, easy listening technoid grooves abound.  It's a weird, fascinating listen.  So check out "Chimère FM," the album opening track from "Chimère FM," the self-titled debut from Chimère FM, and get the album here from Versatile Records.

Daily Jam - Game and Performance

I went back and revisited that "Minimal Wave Tapes" compilation that came out a few years back, and it's still gold.  Cold and minimal synth pop to soothe the soul.  Here's 1983's "Game and Performance" from Deux, our Daily Jam.

Mangel

Here's some minimalist cold wave from Berlin artist Mangel to bob and nod to while we all wait another day to see what happens.  Listen to "Graceful Rituals" below and get the "Graphic Latin-Vatican Laundry" 7" here.
