Beschreibung

Bristol-based New Haunts (Alice Sheridan) uses an arresting vocal and a hypnotic rush of heartfelt synth-laden darkwave to contrast the jarring with the serene, and to deliver a fiercely intense live performance. Her self-released 2018 debut album Worlds Left Behind was reissued on Young & Cold Records in April 2020, with a second album, Fight/Flight, due for release in the first week of June 2020

„What we have over these nine tracks is quite special. Styles crash together, jarring sometimes, tender and beautiful the next. All underpinned by some haunting vocals. Alice’s love of minimal synth, synthpop and industrial music shines through on this album. It’s a unique album to the UK scene; I can’t think of anyone else doing this style of music at the moment. Worlds Left Behind isn’t an easy listen – it took a few spins for it to truly hit home, but all the best albums usually do. It contains everything I like in electronic music – originality and a freedom to mix the harsh with the gentle. The vocals are the same – icy cold, and and the addition of some wonderful howls and screams all fit the changing landscape of the album. There’s a wonderful feeling of freedom here, of somebody doing exactly what they want with no interference.“ – Matt Faulkner, Kodak Ghosts Run Amok zine (IG: @matthewfaulkner93)
