Marbled Eye instagram.com/marbledeye punk Cemento instagram.com/cemento.la post-punk Hannah Lew instagram.com/hannahlew_ electropop Hot Goth GF instagram.com/hotgothgfradio spinning dark-wave, post-punk Marbled Eye -from Oakland, CA -After a five year absence, Oakland’s Marbled Eye have returned, and well… they’ve never sounded better. The band’s new album, Read The Air, is out today via Summer Shade and Digital Regress, a record that expands the quartet’s post-punk beyond steely minimalism into something a bit more wiry and abstract but still tightly in-tact. There’s more texture throughout the record and the band take a varied approach to the sonic attack, at times droning and rhythmically detached, but always pulsating and wound for impact. With the record out today, the band are sharing a new music video for “Tonight,” one of the album’s many highlights. The self-directed video captures the group loading out of their practice space, hitting the streets, and arriving to the show, as glamorous a process as one might hope. Check out the video below together with a walk through of the album via Marbled Eye’s drummer, Alex Shen. -Dan Goldin Cemento -from Los Angeles, CA -CEMENTO out of Los Angeles has been compiling a library of goth-inspired post-punk epics for the past few years, and many of those tracks appear on their fresh full-length entitled Bad Dream Songs. Produced in conjunction with Iron Lung Records, CEMENTO’s sound is pushed to a monolithic depth on Bad Dream Songs, allowing the band to fully exhibit their artistry. If you were into Sacred Bones’ release of the HUNT’s The Hunt Begins in 2013, or if you’re into things like the early works of the CULT and CHRISTIAN DEATH, then you should check out Bad Dream Songs. Hannah Lew -from Richmond, CA -“One foot out the door, another in the otherworld...” So begins Hannah Lew’s debut, self-titled solo record, soaked in imperious, wide-eyed pop songwriting and a girl-group/post punk aesthetic that belies the artist’s history in the U.S. underground. A towering, hook-laden album, it’s infused with an optimism and surrealism that conversely deals with the times we find ourselves in. Recorded at home in Richmond, CA and in The Best House studio with Maryam Qudus in Oakland CA, with the assistance of a crack team of West Coast musicians, this album sees Hannah Lew stepping out from behind the legacy of her two groups Grass Widow and Cold Beat. While musically bearing similarities with her previous work, “Hannah Lew” is a bold leap into direct pop territory, making ample use of a vocal style that teases out the inherent melancholy in her melodies. Mastered by Sarah Register, each song is a perfectly honed nugget that frequently pulls the heart in two directions at once. Themes of change, breaking up, shattering old ways of being are shot through the record. For the front cover, a photograph of the artist’s face was printed, ripped up and re-assembled, resembling the creative process embarked upon by Lew for her first “solo” material. The album feels instinctual, almost dream-like in its assemblage of sweeping synths and pulsating, propulsive drum machine beat patterns with Lew’s vocal performances sensitive and caressing over the top. Increasingly relying on the subconscious and dreams to guide her creative process, Hannah Lew frequently abandons literal interpretations or linear narratives, the songs seeming to exist in a swooning, effortless flow-state while remaining emotionally hard hitting. On an album where every song could be a single, there are kaleidoscopic shades and varying emotional tones in abundance. First single Another Twilight is carried along a pumping, Italo-disco-style 4/4 beat and mono-synth bass line, the low end pulling at the heart and body. Lew’s vocal melody teases the track before swan-diving into a gorgeous chorus as she sings “it’s all over baby and I don’t mind... in decline, I take my time...” The album is suffused with moments like this. On slow builder Damaged Melody, an arpeggiated synth elongates the verse before a cascading synth showers down melodic glitter. The stunning Replica uses dual swirling synth patterns before a driving, synthpop chorus for the ages carries Hannah Lew’s vocal into the stereo field, sailing in on a high register singed with the embers of a break up. In a departure from previous groups, her solo songs are guided by dreams and free association inspired by Dada and the Surrealist movement and sculpted afterwards. As such, the songs reveal themselves on repeated listens, revealing traces of heartbreak inspired by both personal and global elements - Hannah Lew regards the album “a wartime album.” On Move In Silence, Lew intones “there’s a war outside, just out of view,” revealing the dichotomy at play throughout. With the songs evolving naturally and in a flow state, the pressures and sadnesses of the modern age bleed through, mixed in with Lew’s inherent love, sensitivity and fractured-but-intact optimism. On the swooning, sublime Sunday layers of Numanoid synths open up for the commanding vocal performance pontificating on grief, love, pain as she “feels the ache on Sunday...” As the chorus builds and Lew’s call-and-response vocal adds to the emotional tension, it almost feels like too much to take. Elsewhere, there are echoes of Hannah Lew’s previous work. On Time Wasted a bass guitar comes in with a heavy, punk attack before the synths and vocal harmonies reminiscent of later Cold Beat elevate everything. The glassy, sweetly resigned closer The Clock sounds like so classic it could be cover, a sweetened Jesus & Mary Chain tune perhaps, before it erupts into volcanic chorus that could only come from Hannah Lew in 2026. releases April 10, 2026 Hot Goth GF -from the Bay Area, CA -HOT GOTH GF RADIO IS A BAY AREA ONLINE RADIO SHOW & LIVE SHOW SERIES FEATURING FEMME AND QUEER ARTISTS IN GOTH, PUNK, ELECTRONIC, & MORE.
