All of Liiek’s album covers are incredibly compelling, and their take on post-punk is just as appealing. As much as I liked their first album, this follow up is much more cohesive, delivering a perfect amalgamation of melody and dissonance. Glad I was able to find a copy on vinyl. kel kontraire
Balancing hooks and abrasion, the debut from Berlin punks Rouge features springy synths, snappy percussion, and insouciant vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 3, 2022
Absolutely stunning. An infectious and captivating album from start to end. A perfect mix of synth punk, post punk and dream pop, giving it a driving, yet ethereal quality. Kimi’s vocals are otherworldly and mysterious. All around, of my favorite albums of the year so far. kel kontraire
