Chock full of noisy electro punk riffs, burning social commentary, and enough energy to power a small city, East LA's Plezzure drop their first official release with this self-titled EP. Fifteen frantic minutes, Plezzure is a quick hitting, buzzing and bopping piece of punk rock constructed with electronic instruments and arrangements. This duo (Andres "Dres" Huerta and Juan "Bunchie" Vera) has already made a name for themselves in the LA scene with their energetic and frenetic live shows, and this EP on GIve/Take hopes to invite the rest of the world to the frenzied Plezzure party.

Here’s a grimly horror-focused wall noise split bringing together two US projects. There’s Strom Lake, Iowa’s May Cause Death, who severs up two decidedly baying & nasty walls. And Portland’s Hana Haruna, who presents us with more haunted, yet still seared wall-craft.

Splinter is the second solo album from Poland’s Daniel Szwed ( Woody Alien). It serves six slices of pounding, bounding, and hissing electronica/electro-industrial soundscaping.

Elektroniczne Systemy is the debut EP from Polish two-piece Marmur, which brings together Artur Rumiński (Furia, Thaw, Arrm, and many others) and Macio Moretti (LXMP, rumoured to be Mitch & Mitch, and many others). The sound over the three tracks is lo-fi electronica, with subtle guitar elements and a rather moody, at times abstract feel.

Danheim is the project of Danish producer Reidar Schæfer Olsen, who has here created an album of what I would describe as cinematic tribal ethnic downtempo - primarily hand drum rhythms and chants, which sound digitally produced and sequenced. It sounds akin to the soundtracks of Hollywood blockbusters like 300 or Gladiator or a show like Game of Thrones. Looking up his credits, he actually did the soundtrack for the show Vikings.

Stärker, a Canadian-French duo, really know what they're doing. Their latest release, the captivating Spectral, is pitch-perfect, each sound source simultaneously exacting and expansive, precise and yet open like a chasm.
