After a scorching demo in 2018, Singapore's DOLDREY have seen fit to unleash a hellish alchemical concoction of scraping hardcore and HM2 death metal riffs over a whiplash of pogoed out D-beats.

Classic styles combined to make modern sounds. Sick.

(U.S.) Brianna Kelly / Sympathy Pain Cassette (2018)

Country: USA
Genre: Post Rock, Drone, Shoegaze, Slowcore
Label: Whited Sepulchre
Tracks: 6
Length: 47.20'

Birthed from the same SLC creative community that brought forth artists like Stag Hare, braeyden jae and Seven Feathers Rainwater, Skyler Hitchcox has been crafting trembling guitar-based drone compositions since the early-aughts under the name Silver Antlers. Sympathy Pain represents the truest and most distilled version of Skyler’s emotional heft. Striking a balance between death-to-crescendocore post-rock, static-filled droning and skyward guitar lines, Skyler is joined on keys by Cult Leader drummer Casey Hansen, imbuing these two compositions with living shadows and dead reflections.

Cincinnati based Brianna Kelly crafts songs that attach themselves to a fleeting connection with the unseen world while rooting itself in a very real topography and landscape. A submission to a force that continues on with or without our attention/devotion In her liturgical drone-pop songs Brianna weaves hypnotic drones and swells through “When You See It” and “Sanctus” while recalling Julianna Barwick and Grouper in their sedated push and pull. “To Behold You” is held sway under the plodding gloom of Planning for Burial’s linear heaviness.

Brianna also plays guitar and sings in the band Soften.  

(Press Note)

*Wow, this is an amazing collaboration between Brianna Kelly and SLC's Sympathy Pain.  On their collaboration together, Brianna Kelly and Sympathy Pain offer up six tracks of killer post rock, drone, shoegaze, and slowcore.  Overall, this is an amazing collaboration cassette and definitely should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy! This amazing collaboration was released via Whited Sepulchre records on February 27th, 2018.

by far one of the best things i've come across lately. the :wumpscut: is strong with this one. reminds me a lot of the "embryodead" album and the "dried blood of gomorrha" comp. very dark electro/industrial. it's only the beginning. i have high hopes for this texas duo. also it's possible that "errorcode" is my song of the year.
