THE CELL – Nanopath

The Cell

Today we’re releasing the first single from THE CELL! ”Nanopath” is a dark hypnotizing industrial techno track, inspired by the gloomy winters of Scandinavia.

”Deep penetrating dark techno”
– Swede + Sour

”The track is super cool. That dark and industrial sounds are amazing and well mixed.
– The Groove Cartel

”A dark one, but good”
– Zone Magazine

”Interesting stuff”
– Skrufff.com

”Nice funky techno!”
– Free Freaks Blog

The track is already supported by these nice radio shows:

S-Dance DJ Show
RTE 2FM
The NoiseHouse
Kiss FM UK
LocoLdn Radio Show

New signing: THE CELL

The Cell

Today, we’d like to welcome THE CELL to Black Hair Records! The first single (out this Friday) is so dark that some magazines just can’t write about it.

Sprung from the sound of dark Berlin techno, The Cell is a new artist on the scene, exploring and reinventing the genre while dwelling in the new generation of techno. The Cell’s dark industrial minimalistic sound is inspired by the gloomy winters of Scandinavia as opposed to the sunny beaches of Ibiza, and the first single ”Nanopath” is no exception.

”Nanopath” will be released this friday (December 15th), and here’s what some people have to say about it:

”Deep penetrating dark techno”
– Swede + Sour

”The track is super cool. That dark and industrial sounds are amazing and well mixed. Unfortunately, the track is really deep and dark, too underground for us.
– The Groove Cartel

”A dark one, but good”
– Zone Magazine

”Interesting stuff”
– Skrufff.com

”Nice funky techno!”

”In all its lo-fi superiority, the track leans more heavily towards post-punk and darkwave, it is fully goth-tinged, but also winks with devilry at shoegaze and obscure psychedelia.” – Destroy//Exist

New signing – Routine Death

Purple

”This small band has produced one of the most consistently great post-punk albums of the year.”
– THE INDIEPENDENT

”‘Purple’ as an album is a heady mix of everything that was right about shoegaze and stoner- rock.”
– HEAR ME RAW

”Purple does not follow a formula, and that’s what makes it appealing on first listen, just like the first listen of Psychocandy – it offers something different yet attractive.”
– SONGWRITING SPOTLIGHT

”På ytan är debutalbumet Purple mörk, murrig och klaustrofobisk, men efter ett par lyssningar framträder ett ljus som hägrar och förför.”
– HYMN

”Pink Milk have created a completely unique and refreshing sound”
– SONIC NEWS

”one of the most anticipated among rock fans this year”
– SOMEBODY TOLD ME

”it’s a glimmer of a different world, and we’d expect their album to offer something very different to anything we’ve heard this year”

Recorded in Gotland, uncontaminated by outside influences off the coast of Sweden in the freezing Baltic Sea, Pink Milk’s debut album, Purple, is the culmination of three years hard labour which has already seen rave reviews for their singles from Kerrang, BBC 6Music, Amazing Radio and Virgin Radio. Though occasionally (and rather lazily) described as shoegaze in some quarters, their sound is a lurching cosmic beast firing off solar flares from all angles, attempting to fill every available space with their elephantine, reverb-laden sound.

”a reverbed-out, shoegazey piece of dark wave that cultivates the type of vastly stark and introspective atmosphere specific to Scandinavia.”– Girls Are Awesome

”hypnotically harsh track that spirals down a dark path as Maria’s voice pleasantly haunts the inside of your mind” – Music News Today
