So the Carpenter Brut / Seth Ickerman film just got funded.

Looks like I'll be getting me a vinyl and a poster

Still suspect that the OST will be just old CB tracks and "worthless" if you have the Trilogy vinyl

The Midnight crowdfunding page for Endless Summer vinyl has finally succeeded

In an Interview with New Retro Wave, Ickerman discussed how they are working with Brut to compose a soundtrack for the film.

He’s going to be writing the music in collaboration with us.

I think I'm just about ready for some new Carpenter Brut.

I'm still ready for that Trilogy repress, yes it haunts me with how tantalizing it could sound in person.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Anyone listened to this one from the Telefuture label, it's just the right mix of horror synth themes, industrial, Italo disco and just plain groovy tunes:

https://telefuturenow.bandcamp.com/album/talismans

This is a great album, highly recommended, no filler at all. I enjoyed every single track.

EDIT: Also have my Carpenter Brut tickets ready for seeing live in January. Well hyped for it. Trilogy is probably still my favourite synthwave album of all time. Just a masterclass all around.

Here's a new Makeup and Vanity Set track from his AMA.

Cant wait to see them again, if they come by. ALso FYI there will be a moshpit and if you wear glasses ( like me) take them off and put them in a eye glass case.

Any chance of Trilogy getting repressed? Or heck, even still be available to buy at his upcoming January gigs?

They've 100% confirmed a new pressing is coming but its date has consistently been pushed back by the month, let alone specific day.

They rarely sell stuff at gigs unfortunately.

Awesome! I like the premise, but I can't donate money right now.

Shirts, lots of shirts.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Shirts, lots of shirts.

Not when i saw them, they must of had less then 10 shirts for sale.

Urgh, I'll be in Austin a few weeks before that, nothing stopping me from going back tho.

Hmmbizzle.

 

[Dan-o]

SXSW, eh?
Might have to do that drive...

 

[XvSP]

They only sell things like tshirts & patches at the show unfortunately, at least here in Germany. For all the others who were lucky enough to grab a copy of the vinyl: Don't be afraid to talk to "Mr. Brut" after the show and ask him to sign it.

Has there been any news of a Stranger Things Vol 1 & 2 box now that the individual release are out? I thought they initially said that that was going to be a thing.

WHOA. The NightStop - Streetwalker vinyl shot up by SEVENTY since the last time I checked.

https://qrates.com/artists/Nightstop/items/12557

It's also passed the 75% mark, which I think will start to move people on the fence to finally back/preorder.

This album didn't get that much attention when it released back in June, so posting for those who haven't yet listened to it. The last track is probably my favorite synthwave song.

This is pretty fucking good! Beacon and the title track are definitely my favourites. Sounds like a slightly faster Dynatron. Check this one out, folks.

I still need to get this album.

13 minutes?? Yessss!
I'm seven minutes in and I don't want it to end.

Went straight for the last track based on your post and you weren't lying. Amazing.

Thanks for the rec this whole album was dope. Gonna get this soon. The last song though an experience I quite enjoyed.

 

[Skiptastic]

I don't even know if there are still tickets but I used to go to Magfest every year and this year they will have Makeup and Vanity Set doing something. Which bums me out that I won't be able to go, but you all should if you like them enough.

So if you're in the D.C. Area or can get there, check it out. Magfest.org. January 5-7.

(I haven't gone in years because marriage and kid lol. And no, nobody is paying me to advertise this. Just saw someone talking about M&VS and thought I'd pass along the information.)

I wish I could go but tickets are so damn expensive. I remember them being $50-60 when I went in 2014. They're $80 right now.

No Perturbator or DWTD.. 🤔🤔

Well, it is just one persons opinion

 

[AoM]

Well, it is just one persons opinion

Not putting either in his personal top 10, I understand. But not putting either in his honorable mentions, I do not. And it's the first release since 2014 for both of them as well.

But I guess this a glimpse at how he feels about such artists: "...especially in the increasingly crowded (and derivative) dystopian, “darkwave” subgenre."
