French darkwave project Kalte Steine have released English-language single “Drowning”.
The track joins a particularly active late-August darkwave and post-punk release cycle and offers a colder electronic alternative to this weekend's guitar-driven albums.
Independent darkwave continues to thrive through specialist labels, clubs and online communities largely outside mainstream music coverage, which makes releases like “Drowning” useful reminders of just how much music exists beyond conventional Friday editorial playlists.
