Nürnberg – Adkaz LP (Limited Edition 333 Black and White Vinyl)
¥3,980
Young And Cold Records – YCR/163 (2024) After the two successful albums “Skryvaj” and “Paharda”, and a number of special releases, here’s the band’s third regular studio album. NÜRNBERG, the band with the quite unexpected name for artists coming from Belarus, continues to be incredibly productive. The new album follows the re-release of “U Nikudy” (with early material), the mini-album “Ahida” and an online-only EP in 2023. And despite the wealth of material, there is no reason to worry that the high standards of previous releases cannot be maintained. After the musically diverse experiments on “Ahida”, “Adkaz” is now almost completely dedicated to the rather light, catchy (Guitar-) Wave, that comes in a very gentle and production and should therefore also reach listeners outside of the “Black” Scene, especially the title song “Adkaz.” The songs have a refreshingly light atmosphere, sometimes sound “cure”-ish and live particularly thanks to the always slightly melancholic sound of the Russian vocals. If you liked NÜRNBERG's previous releases, you will be delighted with this new 8-tracks Album: Classic and pure Postpunk/Darkwave/Coldwave! Tips for listening are the beautifully wavy “Vada”, which also has club potential, and the slightly harder “Horad”. “Strach” should cause dancing in front of the stage at Liveshows, but definitely the most catchy tune is „Pacalunak“, which is slightly “hidden” at the end of the album but deserves highest attention and praise! All songs by Nürnberg (Minsk, Belarus) Recording: Raman Kamahorcaŭ (“Molchat Doma”), Andrej Babroŭka Mixing: Andrej Babroŭka, Pavel Tretyak Mastering: Andrej Babroŭka Cover: Jonathan Sirit (“Belgrado”) Bandcamp 試聴 https://nurnbergminsk.bandcamp.com/album/adkaz

Twin Tribes - Pendulum LP (Limited Edition 500 Black & White Vinyl)
¥4,580
SOLD OUT
〜 レーベルラストストック品 ”再入荷" 〜 Young And Cold Records – YCR/166 (2024) Twin Tribes 2024年 最新作 "Pendulum" 彼らの待望のサードアルバム "Pendulum" (振り子) はバンドが宇宙の神秘, 愛の勝利, 疑う余地のない崇拝の落とし穴, そして死とその不可避性についての彼らの継続的な探求を熟考していることを発見します。"Pendulum" (振り子) はバンドの音の進化だ。バンドの持ち味である鮮やかなギター, 80年代のアナログシンセ, 陰鬱な歌詞, ヴォーカルはそのままに, エッジの効いたサウンドを導入し, 未踏のアナログとデジタルの共鳴の領域に飛び込んでいます。Twin Tribesはゴシックとロマンティックを融合させ 光と闇の境界線をつまびらかにする, 簡潔でインパクトのあるアルバムの伝統を引き継いでいます。 振り子は 潮のリズミカルな揺れに似た, 二重性, 呼応性, 極性の探求として記述される。 "潮の満ち引きのように 振り子は右から左に均等に揺れ, 暗闇なしに光はない" Following the worldwide surprise success of the band’s debut “Shadows”, and the critically acclaimed sophomore album “Ceremony”, Twin Tribes return with their newest offering “Pendulum”. Four years after their last collection of original songs and constant touring on the US live circuit, the pair returned to the studio in the summer of 2023 to put together their eagerly expected third album. “Pendulum” finds the band contemplating the mysteries of the universe, the triumph of love, pitfalls of unquestioned adoration, and their continued exploration of death and its inevitability. Pendulum is the band’s sonic evolution. It introduces an edgier sound and dives into a realm of unexplored analog and digital resonance, driven by relentless bass synths and thumping drum machines, while retaining the bright guitars, 80s synths, somber lyrics and vocals that the band is known for. Twin Tribes continue their tradition of concise and impactful albums that fuse the gothic with the romantic, and tiptoe the line between light and dark.

Corbeau Hangs – Optograms LP (Limited Edition 150 Blue Black Vinyl)
¥3,980
Young And Cold Records – YCR/162 (2024) “Optograms” is the debut album by CORBEAU HANGS after a release of 3 digital singles. CORBEAU HANGS is a fresh US-Darkwave project from Phoenix/Arizona that describes itself as “Darkwave from the hellholes of PHX”. Not much is known about CORBEAU HANGS yet, but they make no secret of the fact that they are part of the still bubbling Darkwave/Cold-wave-trend, mixing various influences from modern acts like Twin Tribes, She Past Away as well as classic artists such as Clan of Xymox, Pink Turns Blue... , it combines the rawness of post-punk with the ambience and grittiness of synths and drum machines. And that pretty much hits the nail on the head – additionally you can certainly hear also some influences by the early Drab Majesty… The basic of Drum Machines and spacey Synth sounds is complemented by driving, hammering and accentuated Wave Guitars and pleasantly non-clichéd vocals. Despite the fundamentally melancholic mood, all of this is produced in a fresh, fluffy manner and immediately sticks in the listeners ears. It's difficult to single out individual songs because the album as a whole is very homogeneous and, with repeated listening, it creeps into the listener's head and doesn't leave it again. Although there is a lot of competition in this musical style, you never know whether one or two songs will end up on the Club playlists and become instant hits for the Darkwave-scene?Who would have expected that at the beginning of acts like Bragolin or Twin Tribes? A lot depends on whether CORBEAU HANGS will hopefully soon be able to perform live... Bandcamp 試聴 https://corbeauhangs.bandcamp.com/album/optograms

Karl Kave – Traurig Schauen Die Berge LP (Limited Edition 150 Black Vinyl)
¥3,980
Z-POP-Records – Z-POP-002 (2023) I spent a big part of my short life with guitars, pedals, synths, drummachines and melancholy. As Karl Kave I feel free to expose my music. As Karl Kave I don’t need to give a shit. Whenever it is possible, the first take is the last. I’m sure there’s some truth in this. Traurig schauen die Berge umfasst 5 Winter in der Ostschweiz. Es handelt vom Föhn, den Mythen die diesen umgeben,vom Rhein und von der Tamina. Manische Versessenheit und poetische Logorrhoe. Zu schön um um wahr zu sein und zu sprunghaft um verstanden zu werden. Traurig schauen die Berge" combines a homerecording sound with sureal lyrics that reflect living in rural switzerland. Diving into a odd walk of inner repetitions. A friend called it Föhn Wave. A strangely warm Wind from the Alps. There are tales and studies about the Föhn driving people mad. Inducing headaches at least. Where I live is plenty of föhn. I tried to get into a coherent world of phonetical thinking. All decorated by two neglected consumer class synths. The Yamaha TQ5, that looks like a telephone answering machine and the Korg DW6000, the last cheap analog polysynth from back in the days. The mastering of Pete Burns (Kill Shelter) did it's best to put the audio together and Luca Schenardis illustration work gave the album a home in the visual world.

Plague Pits – Punishment & Extinction LP (Limited Edition 100 Black Vinyl)
¥3,980
SOLD OUT
Young And Cold Records – YCR/161 (2023) Plague Pits is a collective from Bern and Zurich, Switzerland. Inspired by the D.I.Y. electronic tape underground of yore, they play disco dirges for the Anthropocene – cold wave for a heating planet. "The minimalist black-and-white aesthetics of the covers of the subsequent Plague Pits releases is, in a way, a harbinger of their musical form, which consists of sparse, rhythmic analog synth sounds, sensitively dosed melodiousness, good lyrics sung by a superb male voice, as well as a kind of - almost synth pop – lightness.” (Szymon Gołąb, Wave Press) PUNISHMENT & EXTINCTION compiles some of the stand-out tracks from an array of self-released, cassette-only EPs Plague Pits have put out since late 2021. On the ten songs they touch on topics like humanities failure to face the climate crisis (“Golden Age of Carnage”, “Exterminator”) or the dehumanizing effects of neoliberalism (“The Numinous”, “Divide – Subtract”), while running the gamut of “Kraftwerk-like clinical machine-funk rhythms, the stripped-down polyrhythms of Cabaret Voltaire, the surreal unpredictability of the Residents, the adrenaline pumping dancefloor New Beat of DAF, Neon Judgment and Front 242 combined with a not insignificant Euro Synthpop-style wistful melodic appeal" (Fabrizio Lusso, White Light // White Heat). These songs are released for the first time on CD and Vinyl by Young & Cold Records. Mastering by Daniel Hallhuber at Young & Cold Studio. «Their new album adresses topics such as the climate crisis and the dehumanizing effects of neoliberalism […] it’s angular, distinctive, nostalgic, and dancey as fuck.” (Dani Ashes, Cemetery Confessions Podcast) Bandcamp 試聴 https://thisisplaguepits.bandcamp.com/album/punishment-extinction

Glaring – Void LP (Limited Edition 333 Black Vinyl)
¥3,980
SOLD OUT
Young And Cold Records – YCR/157 (2023) GLARING is a good example of how the music world has changed in recent years. You no longer need a complete Band, Demo recordings that are sent out at great expense, a Record Company, a Studio, a Distributor, a Boking Agency, a Promotion Agency... Anna Nin from Bremen/NorthernGermany shows how it works with her project GLARING. In home recording, songs are continuously recorded, which is no problem with today's technical possibilities. These are then uploaded to various music platforms, promoted on Social Media and spread through word of mouth without any commercial companies in the background. At some point, Labels become aware, first small ones, which then release cassettes, then slightly bigger ones, which release a Vinyl Compilation of the previous songs, and at some point larger Record Companies, which then release a new album in the “classic” way. Of course it's not as easy as it sounds, but many bands in the Postpunk/Darkwave scene have developed this way in the last 10 years. But the most important thing is that the music is good, otherwise it's no use... And that's where GLARING scores perfectly. You can hear almost completely instrumental music – the voice fits in in the background as a kind of additional instrument - and often minimal Darkwave, which invites you to dream and indulge. The influences are diverse and can often be found in the 80s. Spacey synth sounds, melodic bass lines and always beautifully wavy guitars. If the overall framework weren't so atmospherically warm, you might call it Coldwave - because this sound was never as cool as the name suggests. One feels reminded of some releases from the Lively Art label from France, sometimes a bit of 4AD - CocteauTwins, Frazier Chorus... Bands like Sad Lovers And Giants or Clan Of Xymox come to mind and yes, when it comes to guitars, The Cure definitely comes to mind. From the actiual scene, acts like Isla Ola come to mind, which offer a similar atmosphere… Music to let yourself go and pause. Bandcamp 試聴 https://glaring.bandcamp.com/album/void

Poison Point – Poisoned Gloves LP (Limited Edition 222 Blue with Black Marble Vinyl)
¥3,880
Young And Cold Records – YCR/153 (2023) Poison Point started as a solo project operated by Timothée Gainet. It features screaming synths hammered by a frantic drum machine, topped by Tim's echoed vocal to rule over the dance floor fog. The debut album “Motorpsychold” released in 2016 was deeply influenced by post-punk and minimal synth. Later on this year, He was joined by Arnaud Derochefort on keyboards and programming and the sound of the project turned to look even more to electronic music. The band shared the stage with bands such as Adult (US), Qual (UK), Drab Majesty (US), Xeno & Oakland (US), Die Selektion (GER), Rendez-Vous (FR) Silent Servant (US) In 2017, the duo return with a throbbing vengeance and waste no time in forcing you to the blackened dance floor. The humming menace of a six string looms in the distance as Gainet’s vocal, aided by a pulsing synth laced backed beat drives « Imaginary Veil » straight to the hips. They signed in November 2018 on the Berlin based label Aufnahme + Wiedergabe and released the record « Bestiensäule » an EBM banger with a coldwave mood fueled by a taste of techno. Before taking a long break the duo released « Oblivion » and « Your Are The Clock », two new tracks on the Parisian label Intervision alongside four remixes from Qual, Sydney Valette, Blind Delon and IV Horsemen. Which confirmed their affinity with EBM and techno music still in a very melancholic mood so specific to their post-punk roots. Poison Point came back in 2022 with a new album called Poisoned Gloves a solely made up of founder Timothy Gainet. « Poisoned Gloves overhauls a lot of the band’s approach but keeps its frenetic and fraught identity intact, allowing for moments of feverish energy and somber reflection to intermingle until they become delirious and inseparable.

Videotraum – Ebbe // Flut LP (Limited Edition 100 Black Vinyl)
¥3,980
Young And Cold Records – YCR/141 (2023) Videotraum is a Darkwave/Coldwave DIY project based in Hamburg, Germany. Videotraum klingt wie… Melancholie, Sehnsucht, Energie und Schmerz zwischen tiefen Wäldern und Industrieromantik. The last few years have been a storm of feelings, ups and downs, lights and shadow, sadness and happiness. Videotraums new album “Ebbe // Flut” takes us on that journey through high and low tides. Inspired by the city of Hamburg and its long port history, the melancholy of its rains, the beauty of its forests and the diversity of its streets. Videotraum guides us down to the depths of the ocean and up to places of joy and love. Melancholic and melodic rhythms merge into danceable (heart)beats reminding us that we are alive and still humans under the influences of nature. Just like the tides that are moved by the effects of the moon. In nature everything is balanced, shadows are part of light, every day belongs to a night and after the stormiest flood comes calm and silence. With their album Jo & Misa let us feel the flow of that balance. Bandcamp 試聴 https://videotraum.bandcamp.com/album/ebbe-flut

Opera Multi Steel – Les Passions Tristes LP (Limited Edition 200 Gold Vinyl)
¥4,680
Wave Records – W156, Young And Cold Records – YCR/144 (2023) French Coldwave band from Bourges. Opera Multi Steel was born during the winter of 1983 in Bourges, a city in the center of France. After "D'une Pierre deux Tombes", a funereal and introspective album released in 2021, Opéra Multi Steel returns with its thirteenth studio album: "Les Passions tristes". The group remains faithful to the sound of the founding instruments that have made it unique since its beginnings. The evolution started on the previous album with the use of more electro rhythms and sequences continues. The pride of place remains given to the vocal melodies, synthetic pads and mechanical backgrounds created by the three musicians and which are a trademark of Opéra Multi Steel, sometimes tinged with recorders that sometimes bring a medieval hint. The band therefore evolves with constancy, without however denying its origins. That said, the music, more up-tempo than on the previous album, does not engender a frenzied melancholy. OMS has always known how to keep distance from the members respective obsessions by mitigating them with a veil of irony and by sprinkling their songs with occasional or referential sound effects, some of them are directly linked to childhood, history, literature, cinema... OMS remains for its members the crucible in which they can mix their common or individual inclinations and their personal stories… The tragedy of some themes is never exempt from a certain dose of lightness in the tone… Some tracks could be easily danceable (Dites-nous, Tout en Tous, Tombés à Terre, Le Soleil est parti…) Some others are developing some more melancholic mood (A nos Moments perdus, Les Toiles…). Au grand Jamais with Catherine Marie as lead vocalist will bring back some memories from a previous side-project of OMS members called “O Quam Tristis”.

Diavol Strâin – Elegía Del Olvido/Elegía Del Horror LP (Limited Edition 250 Black Vinyl)
¥3,480
SOLD OUT
Young And Cold Records – YCR/137 (2023) Non-binary/feminist darkwave goth rock duo from Valparaíso, Chile, formed in 2015 by Ginger Blue (Guitar, Synthesizers, Digital Drums, Backing Vocals) and Lau M (Bass, Lead Vocals, Synthesizer, Digital Drums). Three years after their debut album “Todo El Caos Habita Aqui” from 2018, the Chilean duo DIAVOL STRÂIN released the follow-up “Elegia Del Olvido/Elegia Del Horror” on their own, which is now being re-released for the first time on vinyl by Young & Cold Records. As to be expected, old school Gothrock in a (South-) American way is on offer again this time. The sound is completely unaffected by Metal or too much Electro, but is determined by driving drum machine rhythms, fat bass and melancholic to desperate vocals. However, the screeching guitars, which are otherwise mainly known from Mephisto Walz or Screams For Tina, are formative. The synths are never in the foreground, they only provide additional atmosphere and a fuller sound. And as with other bands, the Spanish language makes the difference in the singing and gives the sound its very own atmosphere. That’s how we know the Goth-/Deathrock of the 80s and 90s. Fans of US Deathrock will enjoy tracks like “Ruinas” and “Al Ansia”, especially the latter song would probably have become a club hit in the early 90s. “Destino Destrucción” could be the same on today’s Gothic parties, while “Herz Der Niemand” and „Uroboros“ will also make Darkwave friends happy.

Risk Risk – Blue Science LP (Limited Edition 200 Blue Vinyl)
¥3,580
Young And Cold Records – YCR/140, Wave Records – W134 (2023) RISK RISK is a one-man project from Germany, which started in 2009 and released its first album in 2011 via Astro Chicken, which didn’t make it big, but that’s probably why it’s a sought-after and, above all, expensive rarity today. An digital-only Compilation followed in 2015 entitled “I Hunt For Static – Rare Tracks”. Since both releases are far too good for just a lucky few people to hear, YOUNG & COLD RECORDS, in collaboration with Brazilian friends Wave Records, put together an LP of tracks from both releases that will appeal to a wide potential electro audience. Cover, project name, the title “This Is 1983” of the first album and of course the music show a great love for the Italo-Disco sound that was popular in the early/mid 80s. In addition, the listener will find a lot of other sounds from Synth-Pop or Disco to Wave. Everything was produced with original equipment from that time and mastered by Andreas Sippel, whose own band Second Decay was certainly one of the inspirations for RISK RISK. A bit of Fad Gadget echoes in “Limousine Talk”, a little early The Human League in “Stardust Memories” or “Street Walk” or even memories of Gary Numan in “Dawn Patrol” and „City Talk“ already show what different electro ideas are presented here . “Adventures In Modern Lifestyle” would easily pass as an “unreleased” track by The Twins from their heyday – a catchy tune at its best – and “I Hunt For Static” sounds like pure Den Harrow!. But the catchy and thoroughly danceable Italo sound is over all, which was shaped by acts like Radiorama, My Mine, P. Lion, Hypnosis or Koto and has been celebrating a surprising revival on a small scale for some time now. Bandcamp 試聴 https://youngandcoldrecords.bandcamp.com/album/blue-science
