We Have A Commentary: Portion Control, "..Step Forward"

We Have a Technical ·

2024/09/29

This month's commentary podcast dives into the often overlooked mid-period work of synthpunk pioneers Portion Control. Having an outsized influence on countless EBM and industrial acts, the band's more melodic movements into "post-industrial" with plenty of dalliances with synthpop and post-punk are perfectly captured on ..Step Forward.

2024/09/26

Having just seen Peter Hook & The Light, we’re spending this episode discussing not just Hooky’s presentation of the Joy Division and New Order catalogs, but also how our thoughts and feelings about those two bands have changed over the past thirty years. By equal measures we’ll be getting into the nitty gritty of JD/NO lore and ephemera, but also wrestling with what has and hasn’t changed about ourselves since we first came in contact with music which has never lost its gravitational pull upon us

We like to mark every 25th episode of the podcast with some sort of special theme or format, and so on this episode we're taking up the hefty topic of to what degree goth is a subculture tied to music. Grab your snakebite and Aquanet and expect gatekeeping, gateletting, takes spicy and mild, and no small amount of cattiness. We're also talking about the passing of Roli Mossiman, the news of North American And One dates, and a Devours gig.

It’s a mixed format episode this week, with Alex giving a rundown of his trip to Edmonton for the Purple City Festival this past weekend, including the I Die: You Die showcase stage. Then, we’re switching gears to talk about the era of high technoid via Access To Arasaka’s 2009 LP Oppidan. All that, plus some horseshit about mainstream media’s annual fixation with "goth" fashion around Hallowe'en.

We Have a Technical ·

2024/09/05

We’re back to the classic two albums format for the first time in a hot minute, with the grinding industrialized noise rock of Head Of David and The Horror’s first kick at the can as a spastic garage band in goth/scene garb on the table. We’re also indulging in a bit of wanton speculation about the Nine Inch Nails name being attached to the next Tron film.

The first of our Terminus-related interviews is here, and with their new LP The Tower set to drop in just over a week, we're very happy to share our conversation with Urban Heat. Jonathan, Pax, and Kevin were very forthcoming with their thoughts on the influence that the heterogeneous music culture of Austin has had on them, the craft of building a live set, and what it's been like to be on the inside of one of dark music's biggest breakthrough acts of the past two years.

This week we're looking at mid-90s records by Machines of Loving Grace and Placebo Effect and discussing the effects of the major label pursuit of alternative hits and the evolution of dark electro, respectively.

We Have A Commentary: Linea Aspera, self-titled

We Have a Technical ·

2024/07/21

As selected by our patrons, this month's commentary podcast takes us back to the heyday of the minimal wave revival, with the self-titled debut of Linea Aspera. As we discuss, even more so than being representative of its time, it's a record which points the way forward for both Alison Lewis' work across a range of projects, but also the next decade-plus of club-focused darkwave.

On this week's episode of the podcast, the very amorphous topic of non-musical points of attraction to Our Thing is taken up. Half cod-anthropology, half therapy sesh, half wanton conjecture, this is about as loose as our general topic episodes are likely to get.

In a "wishful beginning" themed episode, we're each picking five projects which have effectively started and ended in the time that we've been running the website. We've seen them come, we've seen them go; bands who we had flagged for great things but maybe passed the torch on to other acts down the line.

Prompted by catching an absolutely electric show from all around cross-genre rock legends The Damned this past weekend, we're dedicating this week's episode to discussing their history, their strengths, and the ways they've drifted in and out of proximity to and influence on goth while maintaining their own utterly groovy sense of cool. We're also discussing some coverage of recent darkwave in The Guardian.

These episodes are always a treat as they prompt us to listen to records we might not have otherwise considered for the podcast, or listen to old favourites from new perspectives. Thanks very much to Dave, Jeremy, and Adam for joining us!
