‘Click Interview’ with Deutsch Nepal: ‘I Always Wanted To Create The Music That Wasn’t Yet Around’
Peter Andersson bgetter known under his nickname ‘Lina Baby Doll’ once started as member of the Swedish industrial project Njurmännen. He later on (1991) set up his own solo-project Deutsch Nepal. The name of the project was inspired by the song of the same name originally written by the psychedelic rock formation Amon Düül II. Defining the sound of Deutsch Nepal is nearly impossible; the sound being the fusion between multiple elements. The common element between his latest productions is the old-styled industrial input, which has been mixed with overwhelming dark-ambient atmospheres and the charismatic vocals of the artist. The album “Staring At My Wall” released on the artist’s own label, Entarte Musikk, is a kind of sonic voyage throughout dark sonic fields. (Credits picture: Henrik Stolt / Interview courtesy by Inferno Sound Diaries) Q: You’ve released an impressive number of productions with very different projects so what means the new Deutsch Nepal-album to you and what makes “Staring At My Wall” maybe different from previous works? LINA: My aim is that every album I release should have a personal character. I don’t like to reproduce the same album again and again. A new Deutsch Nepal production often is […]

Artoffact Records announces the March 6th release of ‘Nostalgia’, the new album by post-punk act Spectres
(Band photo by Lindsay Wallace) Founded in Vancouver in 2005 by vocalist Brian Gustavson, the post-punk act Spectres is one of the bands responsible for kicking off the renewed interest in the post-punk sound in Canada. Guitarist Zach Batalden states: “The band was started as a way to creatively explore 1980’s British anarcho-punk, and while creatively we have drifted in new directions this core influence still holds a lot of inspiration for us. Bands like The Mob, Crisis, Crass and Zounds are all still very important for us. From there we took a deep interest in ’80s post-punk and new wave, with bands like The Sound, The Chameleons, Theatre of Hate, and Modern English, central to the way our sound has developed. For the new album, Nostalgia, we were listening to a lot of Flying Nun bands like The Bats, The Verlaines, and The Clean as well.” The band’s newest album “Nostalgia” was produced by Actors frontman Jason Corbett at Jacknife Sound in Vancouver. It follows three independent albums which were all reissued by Artoffact Records in 2019. To get an idea how the band sounds like, here’s the “Northern Towns” music video from the 2019 “Provincial Wake” 7″. The […]
