Sonic Trauma : The Music World of Alone 1980

The man behind the imagined soundtrack project Alone 1980 likes to keep things mysterious. It’s a one man band from Sweden that makes seedy, eerie albums that feel like music from some late 70s/early 80s sci fi/horror flick you’d find playing at 1am on USA Up All Night. I’m sort of an expert because I […]

Circadian Rhythm Section : Safety in Numbers

Circadian Rhythm Section is the solo project of musician Derek Jones. Jones has been making music for years now in Cemetery Gates with Gene Priest. Cemetery Gates sounds the way you’d imagine, but better. Dread-inducing electronic music that savors analog synths, classic horror films, and the scores that made them so damn good. Left to […]
