The opening title track twangs with a little more direct post-punk energy those guitars do so much for layering a truly sturdy vibe. The songs themselves, though, don’t let any “atmospherics” define what they ultimately become.
These labels and bands are often about fostering an experience, and ATOM does that in the most simplistic, but intoxicating way possible.
It’s recorded with such a low quality and overt fuzz that it’s seemingly smuggled from the Eastern Bloc circa 1987–and that united aesthetic is always just novel enough to prove compelling without feeling forced or derivative. (So, pretty fly, yeah?) Part of Polan’s “mikro DIY” label Syf Records, BZDET are described (via a press release) as “deep-lo fi-post-punk/weird new wave/eko punk.” Really, though, no descriptor could fully encompass the experience of the nine-track ATOM. But what about punk from Poland? Well, if BZDET is any indication, it’s weird, wild, and just a tad bit unsettling. punk stings with outright disillusionment, while New York punk hums a certain jaded frequency.
Genre: Post-Punk, Cold Wave, Experimental Here are ten essential Q4 releases, all available on Bandcamp.It’s our Bandcamp Picks of the Week, featuring the blitzing, chilly punk of BZDET and the white noise hum of Raum! For the final edition of our quarterly roundup for 2021, we’re continuing to reflect and acknowledge musicians, artists, producers and DJs from across the globe, all with strong communities, real visions, and important statements to make. Regardless of the difficulty setting of the moment, as always, new and under-discussed talents from the worlds of underground music continue to use community and craft to find a way. The pandemic’s economic impact has hugely affected the arts, with those already struggling financially being hit the hardest. Despite the sometimes spoken, sometimes unspoken uncertainties that colour the day-to-day realities of many, music continues to function as a shared communal space and a source of collective solace. Depending on where you are in the world right now, you might be out of lockdown and dancing, or returning to restrictions. We’ve looked at the history of 80s and 90s raves in Coventry, and covered an album made from the sound waves of people’s orgasms. In recent weeks on Dazed, we’ve been covering PinkPantheress, BTS super producer Adora, aya, and Blawan.
