ARTIST : BLAKLIGHT
SINGLE : BURIED ALIVE
RELEASED : JUNE 2025
Los Angeles based dark synthpop trio Adam Collier (Beautiful Crisis, SilverScene), Brian Belknap (Mind Machine) & Omar Quiñones (Vain Machine).
Blaklight has unleashed "Buried Alive," the second single from their highly anticipated forthcoming album, The Haunting of Us, due later this autumn. Following its buzz on platforms like We Are Cult and Post-Punk.com, the track arrives as a potent indicator of the sonic and thematic depths the band is set to explore.
Sonically, "Buried Alive" immediately immerses the listener in a meticulously crafted soundscape. It’s propelled by the ceaseless throb of pulsing synths, layered with cinematic depth that evokes a widescreen, almost gothic atmosphere. The raw-edged vocals cut through this rich tapestry, adding a visceral urgency that perfectly complements the track's brooding intensity. The combination creates a sound that is both undeniably dark and remarkably rich, drawing the listener into its shadowy embrace.
Lyrically, "Buried Alive" plunges into the heavy psychological weight of obsession. The song masterfully conveys a sense of emotional entrapment, with its haunting refrains echoing the suffocating grip of an all-consuming fixation. Lines like "This obsession is keeping me buried alive" are not just poetic devices; they are visceral declarations that articulate the profound burden of an inescapable emotional burden. Similarly, "For you I bleed eternally" underscores the relentless and self-sacrificial nature of this intense, perhaps unrequited, connection.
Blaklight has delivered a track that is both musically compelling and psychologically resonant, solidifying their standing in the contemporary post-punk landscape. "Buried Alive" serves as a tantalizing pre-cursor to The Haunting of Us, promising an album that is likely to be as emotionally profound as it is sonically adventurous. Definitely one to add to your rotation while we eagerly await the full LP.
Anna Logue Records & Nadanna Records
Icons of Vintage Synth and Modern Minimal Electronics
If you're a fan of analog synths, haunting melodies, and the unmistakable charm of early electronic music, look no further than Anna Logue Records and Nadanna Records—two boutique labels at the heart of the global synth revival movement.
Anna Logue Records, founded in Germany in 2005 by synth aficionado Marc Schaffer, is a label that breathes new life into lost gems of the late '70s and early '80s underground. With a razor-sharp focus on minimal synth, cold wave, and early DIY electronica, Anna Logue is known for unearthing rare and unreleased recordings from pioneering electronic artists. Each release is a loving restoration—pressed on high-quality vinyl, beautifully packaged with liner notes and artwork that echo the era’s authentic aesthetic. Collectors and synth connoisseurs worldwide treasure Anna Logue’s catalog for its historical significance and sonic purity.
In contrast—but equally inspired—Nadanna Records is where vintage spirit meets modern vision. Co-founded by Marc Schaffer and Andy Oppenheimer (of Oppenheimer Analysis), Nadanna specializes in contemporary synthpop, Italo disco, minimal wave, and dark electro—all created with analogue soul and a future-forward edge. Nadanna is home to some of the most exciting names in the modern synth scene, including The Silicon Scientist, Vogon Poetry, and Soft Riot—artists who carry the torch of classic synth innovation into the 21st century.
Together, Anna Logue and Nadanna represent two sides of the same beautifully glowing coin:
One preserving the electronic past with reverence, the other shaping its thrilling future.
Whether you're a longtime devotee of coldwave or a newcomer drawn to shimmering synths and vintage drum machines, both labels offer a sonic world you'll want to live in.
