WL//WH Premiere: CARDINAL & NUN - "Freak And Weak" [Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX // Eskimo Recordings]

WhiteLight//WhiteHeat

Marseille-based art-techno-punk artist, under his Cardinal & Nun moniker, through his 2021 album on L.I.E.S completely flipped the script, fusing gothic vocals, raw guitars and analog sounds to huge acclaim. Exclusive to Curses’ "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX" compilation, "Freak and Weak" is another startling track from the Frenchman, where haunting vocals, reverb-drenched guitar and skeletal rhythms align to sound like something that escaped from the same sessions that produced The Cure’s Faith LP. Exclusive to Curses’ "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX" compilation, the darkly surreal haunting romance "Freak and Weak", WL//WH is very pleased to premiere, is another startling track from Bodjollé where haunting vocals, reverb-drenched guitar and skeletal rhythms align to sound like something that escaped from the same sessions that produced The Cure’s Faith LP. "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX" is the second compilation for Eskimo Recordings compiled and curated by Berlin-based Musician and DJ Luca Venezia, aka Curses, to explore the darker side of club music. Spread across 3CDs and three 2LPs Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX features a mammoth 49 tracks that join the dots between early industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle, EBM legends like Nitzer Ebb and the post-punk experiments of people like Malcolm McLaren and Big Audio Dynamite with some of the most exciting artists around today, such as Boy Harsher, Nuovo Testamento and Years of Denial. "Chapter 2" moves the night on, and this is the sound of the clubs I love to both play and just hang out in these days, clubs where the people involved put a lot more time into digging through the crates than working on their Instagram Reels. These are places where you're as likely to find a band on stage as you are a DJ, where 80's German electro-pop by a band like Boytronic seamlessly flows into tracks like Silent Servant’s 'Non Fiction'. Timeless music that can be romantic, dreamlike and ethereal one moment, then veer into dark, industrial sounds the next. —————————————————————————————— Artist: Cardinal & Nun (@cardinalandnun) Title: "Freak And Weak" LP Title: Curses (@cursesforever) presents "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX" Label: Eskimo Recordings (@eskimorecordings) Cat #: 541416667030 Release date: October 20, 2023 Format: 3x 2LP // 3CD // Digital —————————————————————————————— CARDINAL & NUN: - Instagram: www.instagram.com/cardinal_and_nun/ - Soundcloud: @cardinalandnun - Bandcamp: cardinalandnun.bandcamp.com/ CURSES - Soundcloud: @cursesforever - Bandcamp: cursesforever.bandcamp.com/ - Instagram: www.instagram.com/cursesforever ESKIMO RECORDINGS - Website: www.eskimorecordings.be - Soundcloud: @eskimorecordings - Bandcamp: eskimorecordings.bandcamp.com/ - Instagram: |www.instagram.com/eskimorecordings For more info check WL//WH Blog: https://www.whitelight-whiteheat.com/p94onm-jj0/
