***LA PETITE MORT / LITTLE DEAH (Sasscore, Cologne)

https://lapetitemortlittledeath.bandcamp.com/album/disco-ii-monomyth

La Petite Mort / Little Death move intuitively in the in-between. With DISCO II, they present their most accessible album to date—one that doesn’t consolidate the boundaries between sasscore, screamopop, and math rock, but deliberately pushes them even further apart. The second album by the Frankfurt- and Cologne-based band reflects on growing up in and out of DIY scenes that now exist mostly as echoes: the screamo and hardcore socialization of the 2000s, “sad-boy” aesthetics, performative sensitivity, and the friction that arises when queerness encounters spaces that present themselves as progressive but often remain narrowly defined.
DISCO II consciously rejects cynicism. Rather than settling scores, the focus is on closeness, community, and the fragile connections that live shows can create. Music isn’t dissected here, but shared—as a moment, a movement, an experience. LPM laugh, stumble, embrace, and carry their fractures openly.
Recorded over ten days with Magnus Wichmann (Blond, Leoniden, Neonschwarz) at Echolux Studios in Leipzig, the production blends no-wave and hyperpop textures with the physical immediacy of post-hardcore and dance-punk. Abstract and tactile elements intertwine; spaces open up only to suddenly collapse again. Drums shift between samples, metal, and drumheads, while guitars oscillate between hyper-nervous math rock in the vein of The Blood Brothers, bittersweet The Van Pelt-style slowcore, and crushing walls of skramz à la Birds in Row. The bass (played by Paul) alternates between melodic propulsion and counter-movement, providing traction throughout the entire rollercoaster ride.
Tracks like “Die Welle war mein Leben” morph freely through breaks and scene changes before resolving into a bittersweet, tinkling coda. Here, singer and guitarist Steffen convincingly places himself in the same league as At the Drive-In’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala. “L’Envie de Plonger” opens with a growling bass and a hypnotic single-note flow; a driving beat sets the stage for guest vocalist Zooey Agros (13 Year Cicada), whose casually delivered vocals glide across the track. Bass, beats, staccato attacks, and synths form a dense mesh—loop and texture magic that even Juana Molina might nod at in approval. “Sirenhead” initially comes across as the cutest song alive, built on stumbling lo-fi drums, before drummer Jan steers it into manic territory with the help of rototoms. It’s driving, chaotic, free, and tight all at once. Fun!
DISCO II leaves us dizzy with euphoria, inspired by the pure joy of playing. DISCO II is not an
invitation to analyze, but an invitation to the party. How do we get there? “I’ll try to say
out loud ‘we’ll figure that out.’ With you.”

***RAHEL&ZOOEY (Experimental, Berlin)

https://unvague.bandcamp.com/album/wait

rahel&zooey is a Berlin-based duo that plays synthesizers, samplers, and guitar.
After meeting a few years ago, they changed their setup for each concert,
exploring their sound with only one constant: they always sing in unison. It’s silky,
noisy, unknown, and fun.
This creative process led to their debut album 'wait,' set to be released on the
Bern-based label “unvague” in March 2025.
In addition to performing as a duo, they launched a collaborative EP series called
rahel&zooey x. Their first release in this series was MAN-BER, featuring
Manchester-based artist Bunny Hoova.
In 2026, they are working on their second album in their own studio co-op; the first
of which will be released in late summer 2026.
