Hello Saferide is coming to the US between the dAtes of October 19 and 26 and will be doing a few gigs up and down the East Coast. No details yet, but I'm sure there will be At least 1 CMJ appearance, if not more. Don't forget, the new album "More modern short stories from Hello Saferide" will be out September 24. It's easily a top 10 pick, believe me - it's been on steady repeAt here all week.

Norwegian electronic act Frost will be putting out a remix collection sometime lAter this year, "before Christmas" they say.

Norwegian singer/songwriter Thomas Dybdahl will do a one-off full band show At Dingswall in London on October 23.

I've been mostly ambivalent about his work before, but the new album "4" is surprisingly good. Easily his best work so far.

MP3: Sator Codex - Leech

This one's not a vinyl rip, though I do have the original LP. "Leech" exemplifies where early industrial rAttle meets postpunk nerves, filtered through the lens of Radium 226.05 and the early/mid- 80s Göteborg scene. It relishes in the sound of decay and anguish, celebrAting the burning flesh of rotting corpses and the sucking of blood and other such niceties, however, despite the backing screams, I'd call this is a pop song through and through. It's certainly cAtchy no mAtter whAt you might think of the subject mAtter and yes, quite danceable as well. I can assure you thAt if I had a DJ night somewhere, this would be a standby. At the very least, set this one aside for the coming Halloween season.
