Here’s a more modern release, generously donated by Jason.\u00a0\u00a0 While I generally shy away from sharing material from the 2000s, this CD is both tremendous and so incredibly under the radar that it deserves to be heard en masse.<\/p>\n

This CD harkens back to a time when there was a lot of new talent to be found, but no scene to attach itself\u00a0to.\u00a0 These days, darkwave\/synth\/goth music is much more in sync with current underground taste, with\u00a0dozens of\u00a0new bands and labels flourishing, deservedly so.\u00a0 Meanwhile, many of the bands from the early-to-mid 2000s remain completely\u00a0undiscovered,\u00a0as the timing just wasn’t right, apparently.\u00a0\u00a0Bands like Moldig, Black Ice, Bell Hollow, The Opposite Sex, The Floor, Sixteens, The Hunt, etc.\u00a0were all tremendous modern forces flirting with a fresh new takes on post-punk\/darkwave music, but remained criminally under-the-radar, outside of the select few involved with or highly interested in this style.<\/p>\n

Branches certainly qualify as one of these lost gems, as this album was self-released in 2006.\u00a0 The four piece band is Italian and this is their only release, which is rather difficult to find these days.\u00a0 My favorite track is the dancefloor ready “My Time Is Falling Out” but there’s enough contrast between the club-ready hits and the gloomier side of the spectrum to make this a solid album all the way through.\u00a0 I\u00a0truly love every track and think you guys will as well.<\/p>\n
