I keep going back to this EP this year so I suppose I should say something about it. It's called Cyberpadania II and it's by this Italian project called NO LABEL (pronounced ˈno ˈlɑbɛl).
It's like, darkwave, downtempo electronica but CATCHY as all fuck and damn if I can't stop listening to it. Each of these songs kind of has its own feel, too- very cool hooks.

@DomSathanas @DanielTuttle ya'll might dig this one.
@jake4480 @DomSathanas @DanielTuttle This first track is giving me some strong Carpenter Brut and/or Perturbator vibes.
@skullvalanche oh nice- okay, well I need to check those two out, clearly haha
@jake4480 If you wanna slap a genre label on this, I'd go with something like Dark Synth.

This also sounds a lot like the early works of 2 of my favorite bands: VNV Nation and Covenant, but sans vocals.
Covenant - Dreams of a Cryotank

@skullvalanche whoaa sweet checking these too
@jake4480 one of my favorite experiences: seeing VNV Nation play at Sick New World on the "industrial" stage last year to a bunch of metalheads and winning them over despite not having a single guitar on stage.
