Crossing post-punk with a smidgen of 80s goth culture, Polish post-punk/goth outfit Mekong released their debut album in May. The result is a strong album heavily influenced by Bauhaus, The Cure, and The Sisters of Mercy. Mixing and mastering for the album was done by Greg Toma at Studio Centrum in Krakow. The highlight song "industria" addresses lust and the collective desire we all feel to cut loose. The track “speaks the mind of one half-alienated Portuguese man living in Krakow,” says the band. “It’s minimal yet powerful with strong bass lines and echoing guitar sounds all over.”
Released Late August 2021 by Icy Cold.
