Ash's Sampler #5

+

The Undertow

+

Week of April 4, 2026

+ + + β–Ά Open in Spotify + + +

Five threads this week. All fresh artists, sequenced for flow.

+ +
+
+ πŸŒ‘ + Dark Frequency +
+

EBM and darkwave for the dance floor you didn't know you needed

+
+

Twin Tribes β€” "Shadows"

+

Darkwave groove opener. If Depeche Mode grew up in the Texas-Mexico borderlands

+
+
+

TR/ST β€” "Sulk"

+

EBM pulse that builds and doesn't let go. Dark synth with real hooks

+
+
+

She Past Away β€” "RitΓΌel"

+

Turkish post-punk/darkwave. Hypnotic, ritualistic, massive in goth clubs worldwide

+
+
+ +
+
+ πŸ”Š + Heavy Gaze +
+

Where shoegaze meets tonnage

+
+

Narrow Head β€” "Moments of Clarity"

+

Texas grunge-shoegaze. Think Hum meets Deftones with a fuzz pedal addiction

+
+
+

Nothing β€” "Say Less"

+

Wall-of-sound shoegaze from Philly. Blissful and crushing simultaneously

+
+
+

Hum β€” "Cloud City"

+

The godfathers of heavy shoegaze. This track from Inlet (2020 comeback after 22 years) is slow, enormous, and gorgeous

+
+
+ +
+
+ πŸ›₯️ + Yacht Rock Noir +
+

Smooth surfaces hiding strange depths

+
+

Mild High Club β€” "Homage"

+

Psychedelic lounge jazz. Steely Dan if they dropped acid and forgot to come back

+
+
+

Drugdealer β€” "Suddenly" (ft. Weyes Blood)

+

Hazy dream-yacht from LA. Like a California sunset that feels slightly haunted

+
+
+

Destroyer β€” "Tintoretto, It's for You"

+

Dan Bejar's art-pop sophisti-noir. Yacht rock for people who read Borges

+
+
+ +
+
+ πŸŒ€ + Warp Rap +
+

Abstract hip-hop orbits for the Kendrick listener who wants weirder

+
+

Shabazz Palaces β€” "Fast Learner"

+

Ishmael Butler (Digable Planets) went cosmic. Seattle space-rap with actual hooks

+
+
+

Open Mike Eagle β€” "Dave said these are the liner notes"

+

Meta, witty, cerebral. Rap for overthinkers

+
+
+

Injury Reserve β€” "Knees"

+

Experimental, glitchy, emotionally devastating. Made after losing their member Groggs

+
+
+ +
+
+ ⚑ + Feral Transmissions +
+

Wildcards, no genre loyalty

+
+

BadBadNotGood β€” "Timewave Zero"

+

Jazz-hip-hop instrumentalists. Like if your favorite jazz trio grew up on Madlib

+
+
+

Yard Act β€” "The Overload"

+

British post-punk spoken word. Witty, energetic, addictive

+
+
+

Daughters β€” "The Reason They Hate Me"

+

90 seconds of noise rock fury. Gut punch

+
+
+

Rina Sawayama β€” "XS"

+

Maximalist J-pop meets nu-metal theater. The Ghost energy applied to pop. Closer for a reason

+
+
+ + +
+ +
