Let's Peter Out
Various Artists
Let’s Peter Out Records has released this
excellent compilation, and this is a definitive chronicle of the
finest and darkest Post punk music of The New Millennium. This
compilation has been curated by Henrik Leander and he has a great
taste in music… real dark music. This is a fascinating Post Punk
experience and it has elegance, seduction, mystery, and even a
razor-sharp touch of raw energy. Henrik Leander is an experienced DJ;
he has worked at clubs, festivals, and he’s part of the staff at
Death Rock Radio. And also he’s in charge of Peter Out records.
“Let’s Peter Out” is about Obscure Post Punk, Dark Punk, and
Post Punk-Gothic Music, as well as those eerie and fascinating sounds
of the underground scene of today … Henrik Leander has made it
simple and he calls it Peter Out Wave; and this brilliant record is a
perfect definition of what Peter Out Wave is all about. The lineup
and the track selection here are high-quality stuff; every track has
been produced with top quality. And you can find some bands whose
albums has been reviewed here in This Is Gothic Rock (The Harrow,
Veil Of light, The Flatfield, Monument ) This is a total must-have.
First track is “Straylight”; an electric
shock provided by the awesome Metro Cult. Next is Veil Of Light with
their most well-known track: “Mirrors To Walls” this song is so
captivating. “Station Rivenich pt 1” is a brilliant song
performed by Monument, is good to listen something new from them;
because I really like their EP “Teeth And Tails” Hemgraven comes
with Dark Punk sound; their song “Döden i drömmen” is really
exciting. “Neon Eye” by Moth is a great song; this is blackened
Post Punk and 80’s dark Wave at its finest. “Berlin” by Low Sea
is bewitching; it has this ghostly female voice, and this powerful
and surrounding atmosphere. It´s like The Cranes coming out from the
other side of the mirror. It’s time for obscure electronics and the
Synth-Punk provided by Komplications; this song has untamed spirit
and great intensity! “Miller’s Love” by XTR is a perfect mix
of 80,s Post Punk and Gothic music….this is fine black velvet! And
what can I say about Saly Dige and this exquisite song called “Forget
Me”?? just listen to this song and you will be hopelessly seduced;
what a brilliant track! The Harrow comes with this early Cure pace
and guitar sound, the female voice gives a different taste to this
atmospheric and catchy tune. Cemetery is the total opposite to the
previous track with their vicious and powerful Dark Punk; this track
has pounding rhythm section and wild guitars, it is really exciting.
By the other hand, Cosmetics brings this dark and seductive Minimal
Wave sound; this track is simply delicious and it has ravishing
sensuality. And last, but not last here’s this revelation band from
Finland: The Flatfield they are doing some great Post Punk-Gothic
music, they have released their first production called “Passionless”
(read the review here).
“Let’s Peter Out” is an awesome
compilation and is available in glorious white vinyl; and you will be
fascinated with this album, because this is about the wonderful bands
of the underground-Post Punk scene of today. You can support and
