Two sides worth of post-black metal, post-shoegaze, post-everything despair from these two solo projects. Warground (Canada) and Hithaeglir (Spain) craft intimate, bleak soundscapes evoking an air of quiet melancholy and ageless despair. Elements of neofolk and even Dead Can Dance’s shimmering sonic tapestries are apparent. The ambition and evolutionary progress of this album is stunning. This is the last statement from Hithaeglir, Warground (featuring a member of Suicide Forest) is just warming up.

The new full-length from Philadelphia’s (by way of Jacksonville) Mariah Johnson is another revelatory leap in dark songcraft. We are pleased to release the cassette version of Feel. chiming, postpunk and surf-influenced guitar work provides silvery support webs for Mariah’s heart-stopping moan of a voice. Not to be missed.

popnihil is incredibly proud to release new work by Christiana Key/Delphic Oracle. Formerly a member of Cult of Youth and a Zola Jesus collaborator, Key now chases her own muse on her own terms with the Delphic Oracle project. This cassette includes three new songs and a Loreena McKennitt cover. These songs evoke as much the classic 4AD sound as modern darker pop music, all with a heavy emphasis on magick and ritual. Immerse yourself. No digital component.

popnihil is extremely excited to present this, the sonic goodbye to Jacksonville FL from the Astral Plains Drifter himself. “Ancient Surfari Shindig” is an homage to surf music, yet through the unique SOS filter. Four track tape collages meld alternately seamlessly and insanely with guitars, sitars, and electric drums. Charlie may not surf, but yr third eye certainly will.
