Post-Punk.com turns its attention today to Casket Cassette and Stare Away as the two dark alternative projects continue their Reducer tour.
The pairing illustrates how post-punk and darkwave are developing through distinct local American scenes rather than one centralised movement.
Both acts draw on gothic atmosphere and post-punk tension while approaching those ingredients from different directions, making the joint run more than a simple exercise in stylistic matching.
The tour also demonstrates the continuing importance of small venues and shared bills within independent dark music, where touring networks often build communities more effectively than conventional promotional campaigns.
