ALFA MATRIX LAUNCHES POST-PUNK RECORD LABEL SPLEEN+ AND RELEASES FIRST MATERIAL FROM THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS AND IMJUDAS
The post-punk scene has a new record label with ALFA MATRIX launching the post-punk sublabel SPLEEN+.
SPLEEN+ will be accommodating post-punk and new/cold wave releases. The Brussels (BE) based label launches with 2 bands signed to it, the Belgian post-punk act THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS and the Italian new wave act IMJUDAS.
THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS launched their label debut with the EP “Polarized” next to the augmented vaults release “Live Happily While Waiting For Death (The Complete Demo Collection 1986-1990)” download compendium. They will also release their new album Echoing Reverie on March 25th. The Italian new wave act IMJUDAS from its side presents 2 new EPs, “People Of The Blame” and “So Untrue”, both releases are available now via Spotify and Bandcamp.
Seba Dolimont A&R behind Spleen+ explains the creation of the label: “The idea from our side is to simply contribute to this post-punk movement offering it some structured and more targeted approach cos there are so many talented artists out there in need of support in their DIY efforts. And this without bringing us too far away from our roots cos the label team is made of 3 friends born in the early 70’s who were fed on JOY DIVISION, THE CURE, SIOUXSIE, SISTERS OF MERCY and other GHOST DANCE, X-MAL DEUTSCHLAND and SKELETAL FAMILY and not only on 80’s synth pop and the Belgian Electronic Body Music movement!”
Besides the very active Belgian act THE ULTIMATE DREAMERS and IMJUDAS the label will be releasing material from other bands as well, these will be announced on due time.
