Karelia by Zudpöl

Among oblique flashes of coldwave, darkwave and the minimalist urgency of postpunk, Zudpöl emerges as another new project led by [S]
By a certain mechanical and lo-fi austerity, Zudpöl seeks to convey a stripped-down and emotional sound at once.

"Karelia" is the debut single. It was also digitally issued by argentinian label NMER (No Me Escucho Records) and kindly reviewed by european webzine "White Light / White Heat":

"Hailing from Buenos Aires, Zudpöl is the new project by [S], the mastermind behind the Occult /Neo-Classical /Industrial /Dark Folk act Kazeria...at the same time somberly danceable and profoundly melancholic, cloaked in a wintry and immersive ambience of obscure oppression and angsty sorrow, strewn with glances of hope.
Sad, wistful, and introspective melodies are drawn with the use of atmospheric synthesizers, rattled by the crisp and stark rumbles of the drum machines, to create a fascinating combination of 80s-inspired Coldwave, Post-Punk and Minimal-Wave aesthetics, rife with mist, claustrophobia, and decadent yet romantic Cold War recollections..."

Lyrics

Zudpöl - Karelia

Flags are waving there
A redness out of place
A love I used to know
on summer rainy days

Sunset takes its toll
As missiles fly from home
A love that once I lost
Just came back like a ghost

I´ll meet you in Karelia
Where borders fade
and cold makes place
within my heart...

Spell the spell of hate
that letter at the end
we feel so overwhelmed
we saw the dying day

Signals, they just fade
maps won´t lead you there
In time we saw the closing walls
in fields forever gone
