Dark Entries

Dark Entries is proud to shed light on underground Belgian New Wave pioneers, SIC, with the career-spanning release “Thought Noises.” SIC were a post-punk band from the industrial city of Charleroi in the francophone part of Belgium. They were formed by Francis Pourcel, Alain Neffe (Bene Gesserit), Micheline Dufert, and Mario Berchicci in 1977. Francis and Alain had previously played with Krautrock band Kosmose in the mid 70s. In 1978 Alain left the group to launch the cassette label Insane Music. The new trio released their debut 7” “Voltage Control” in 1979 on Artibano Records.

A 4-song compilation from one of the finest groups of the Spanish new-wave/techno-pop scene of the 80's: Vocoder. Keyboardists Antonio Laval, Alfonso Olarte, Antonio Tenas met while attending university, and were later joined by vocalist Pilar Pellicer. They recorded several demos with synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines, creating a soundtrack for the clubs and dancefloors.

FALL INCOGNITO

Now for a quick flight to Boston to catch up with Jeff and Jane Hudson. For this journey Dark Entries have teamed up with Captured Tracks to resuscitate J&J’s back catalogue. The 2LP not only features the seminal Flesh album of 1983, but a host of other obscurities from 7”s and Eps. This is a mammoth twenty track operation and a real exploration of Jeff and Jane Hudson. The world of this duo is introduced through the subtle tones of “3×3,” with industrial echoes and absorbing vocals.
