My Ruin Italy レコード& CD

Review: Following on from 2022's blistering self-titled debut full-length, Bielefeld based German post-punks (heavy on the punk) Dead Years return with their hypnotic, coldwave-tinted sophomore effort Night Thoughts. Taking influence from the likes of The Wipers, X, Masshysteri, and Feral Trash, yet imbued with the frosted 80s hue of Joy Division or The Cure, the trio conjure a macabre sonic balancing act between speedy, frenetic hardcore-indebted punk and ethereal, meandering shimmers of muted proto-dream-pop. For those who like their darkwave with a bit of distortion and bite, or punks who don't mind a dollop of reverb and echo every now and again.
