Orden - 𝖆𝖑𝖕𝖍𝖆

Just in time for the cold fronts ahead, Basel-born, Berlin-based outfit Orden drops a new hoodie to keep you protected this winter season. As usual, Orden uses high quality materials, signature cuts and the 𝖆𝖑𝖕𝖍𝖆 hoodie is completely handmade. Adorned with the brand’s striking logo and drawstrings in orange, this piece is an eye catcher that doesn’t sacrifice function or comfort.

I was instantly drawn to the gritty, analog shoot as the photos perfectly convey the rugged yet refined nature of the piece. 𝖆𝖑𝖕𝖍𝖆 is a limited edition release with no second runs planned so definitely pick this up as soon as you can. The official release date is December 8th but if you’re in Basel this coming weekend, you can stop by Open Store for the official pre-release on December 7th and get yours first. This is a must have for the season. To order visit Bandcamp.

Lunacy - Age of Truth (Full Album Stream)

The Brvtalist is pleased to present an exclusive full album stream of the new release by Pennsylvania’s Lunacy. Since 2016, the artist has released a variety of music including 4 EPs and a compilation LP. However, Age of Truth represents his debut album and much like previous work, it is a powerful statement of ritual electronics, analog compositions and psychedelic experiences. Thematically, the album looks at the damage mankind is responsible for in the world around us and the mood reflects the guilt we all must carry.

Whether it be noise, shoegaze or hints of post-punk, Lunacy has crafted a diverse debut full length which blurs the genres lines and thrusts the listener into something both beautiful and heinous. Recommended for fans across the power electronics, industrial and punk genres.

Out November 22nd digital and 12” on the great Parisian label Third Coming Records. For more and to order visit: https://lunacy.bandcamp.com/album/age-of-truth-lp
