This EP fearlessly dives into the complexities of connection and betrayal, offering an unfiltered critique of false friendships. Joining IMJUDAS in this introspective exploration are trusted collaborators, who elevate the EP with an array of electrifying remixes: PEOPLE THEATRE adds a nostalgic, dreamy electro-pop touch to “StJudas”, AIBOFORCEN transforms the title track with cinematic, vocoded future-pop flair, IMPLANT injects their signature industrial grit and chaotic cadence and OK LION! amplifies the electro-rock groove for an explosive finish.

With its evocative title “I Love You Go Away,” the EP serves as a defiant anthem against emotional exploitation and shallow relationships. “Away with the psychic vampires, away with the profiteers, away with those who don’t love you for who you truly are”, declares IMJUDAS.

As the solo project of Maxx Maryan (from Electro-Goth/Pop Metal duo HELALYN FLOWERS), IMJUDAS ventures deep into Dark Pop, Post-Punk, and Cold Wave territories. With echoes of THE SOFT MOON, FAITH & THE MUSE, GARY NUMAN, and DEPECHE MODE, this release solidifies IMJUDAS as a powerful voice in the darker realms of electronic music.

Who better than the legendary Belgian post-punk and new wave pioneers THE NAMES to release a new album titled “Encore!”? This much-anticipated album stands as a testament to their unbreakable commitment to an ever-evolving sound. Since 1977, they’ve stayed true to their unique, eclectic style, captivating fans across the globe who continuously clamor for more.

Emerging from the iconic Factory Records alongside JOY DIVISION and NEW ORDER, THE NAMES have etched their place in music history. With a cult following and a sound that remains as invigorating as ever, “Encore!” continues their journey, offering a fresh milestone in their timeless discography.

Launched with the electrifying “Volume” EP and the bold “Far From the Factories” single, “Encore!” is a sonic tapestry where vintage echoes of the early ’80s meet explorations into futuristic soundscapes. Tracks like “Last Train From Nowhere,” “Touch Touch Touch,” and “Watching For The New World” carry the spirit of the 1980s, while “Sunny Side” and “Inadequacy” channel a nostalgic 1960s vibe. Unexpected gems like “Apophenia,” “Laudanum,” and “Swimming With Brian Jones” highlight their experimental side, while intimate tracks like “Mei Mei” and “A Walk With Miss J” bring moments of reflection. The title track “Encore!” feels like an anthem for the ages, echoing long after the last note.

This is no ordinary album – it’s a vibrant journey through decades of musical influences, weaving together post-punk melancholy, experimental avant-garde, and wistful pop. Atmospheric instrumentation, haunting vocals and striking guitars merge with dynamic synths to create an addictive carousel of sounds that keeps listeners spinning while deciphering hidden allusions in their characteristic convoluted lyrics.

Available in a limited-edition collector’s colored vinyl (150 each respectively in solid red or solid white!) and a stunning digipak CD edition with three exclusive bonus tracks, “Encore!” is a must-have for any fan of melancholic cold wave.

From Brussels, with love and electric fervor – THE NAMES are back.

Hey you, shining disaster: welcome to NOEMI AURORA‘s Multiverse of sounds and visions!

The Italian singer-songwriter and music producer, renowned for her nearly two-decade journey with the magnetic duo HELALYN FLOWERS, has established herself as a standout voice in the Electro/Industrial and Alternative Metal realms. Her versatile and distinctive style has earned her a place among modern Goth legends, leading to countless collaborations and vocal features.

With “Kintsugi”, Noemi Aurora unveils her first solo masterpiece, a deeply personal and artistic journey that showcases her multifaceted talents in their fullest form. Acting as a true creative alchemist, she’s crafted every detail of the album herself (writing, recording, producing, performing, and mastering each track). The result is a sonic and emotional odyssey that is introspectively sensual, fiercely powerful, and utterly transformative.

From the poetic mid-tempo wave pop opener “Keep Your Tears to Water My Roots” to the mystic experimental closer “Yugen,” the album captivates with a kaleidoscope of emotions and sounds. Her music, as previewed by the cinematic single “Blood As Lipstick” and the hypnotic club hit “Shining,” blends her electro-industrial and dark wave roots with ethereal sensibility and raw post-punk intensity. Noemi’s hauntingly versatile vocals evoke legends like DEAD CAN DANCE, SIOUXSIE, and KATE BUSH, while her music reveals eclectic influences ranging from LADYTRON, FRONT 242, MASSIVE ATTACK, to COCTEAU TWINS.

‘Kintsugi’ delves into themes of pain, healing, and resilience, with raw emotional depth that reaches new heights, especially when she sings in her native Italian on tracks like “Dal Giardino Di Algos” and “Too Late To Die”. It’s an album that transforms vulnerability into strength and brokenness into beauty, inspiring listeners to embrace their imperfections and let their inner light shine through.

This transformative journey is available in stunning physical editions: a limited-edition collector’s “shining” gatefold vinyl (150 copies in two unique designs: sunburst solid white + black and galaxy transparent red + black effect) and a deluxe digipak double-CD “disaster” edition. The latter includes the “Magnetica” bonus disc with 11 remixes by very diverse artists like IMPLANT, AIBOFORCEN, INERTIA, AESTHETISCHE, LLUMEN, PSY’AVIAH, METROLAND, KORINTHIANS, VOYNA, PEOPLE THEATRE, SYSTEME PARADOXE, plus a breathtaking cover of THE CURE’s “Friday I’m In Love”.

“Kintsugi” speaks to anyone who has faced the abyss and emerged stronger, weaving a tapestry of golden threads from life’s broken pieces. NOEMI AURORA invites you to embrace your resilience, turning every scar into a radiant mark of beauty. This is more than music – it’s a luminous ode to transformation and hope.
