Jah Phnx started his musical career as an Alternative Rap artist but last year he started taking some of his music into dark Post-Punk territory, reminiscent of many of the OGs in the genre as well as of newer acts like Molchat Doma and She Wants Revenge.
The music is moody, minimalist and catchy. He doesn't have that many songs out yet, but what he does have out sounds highly promising. Check him out!
For those of you who use Spotify, DJ Mystic of Two Broke Goths made this playlist of indigenous goth/goth-adjacent bands from the US and Canada, starting the playlist with the episode of the Cemetery Confessions episode on indigenous goths.
Ages ago I said I'd make posts recommending non-white goth bands and while I've already recommended Virgine Dramatica and 群像乐队 I've left the tag abandoned for a long time. The next artist I had intended to recommend was Scary Black.
Not much is known about them as a project or person beyond that they're from Louisville, Kentucky, and the person behind the whole project is Albie Mason.
They fit perfectly the trend of Post-Punk meets Synthpop that's been very popular these past 10 years within the goth scene. The lyrics to most of their songs are aloof yet full of angst, as are the atmospheres.
So far they have released two full-length albums ("Are You Afraid of the Dark?" and "Shadow Dwellers") and a bunch of singles, becoming one of the bunch of popular goth acts from the newer generation alongside others such as She Past Away, Boy Harsher, Lebanon Hanover, Drab Majesty and more.
Spirits of Leo - new Post-Punk goth band formed by poc from Brooklyn
Beautiful, shimmering, glistening, emotional, romantic music from the Brooklyn goth scene. I just found out about them and I was instantly hooked, which is rare for me with newer goth bands, especially of the more Post-Punk variety.
Please give them a chance, especially if you're into Garlands era Cocteau Twins, Pornography and Disintegration eras The Cure, or The Chameleons.
Every song is a rich landscape of subtle but heartfelt and romanticized emotion.
July 18th is Desi and Arab Goth Representation Day and, in celebration, Uttar Pradesh, India-based darkwave act Willow Scarlet released a video for "Pishach," the first part of their new dark South Asian folklore and mythology-inspired release Veeran, which celebrates by featuring clips of various Desi and Arab goth influencers. A pishacha, the subject of the song, is a flesh-eating and blood-drinking demon in Hindu lore.
