Self-Incrimination - Recreation of an empty space LP

Emerging from the transatlantic shadows of London and Seattle, Self-Incrimination unveil their 10-track debut album- a stark, hypnotic statement steeped in post-punk austerity and gothic atmosphere. Featuring members of Miscalculations, Iris Paralysis and Appaloosa, the project distils decades of underground lineage into something both reverent and restless.
The haunting vocals move with a ghostlike restraint — at once intimate and distant and her voice evokes the dusky ache of Mazzy Star, the commanding chill of Siouxsie Sioux and the nocturnal romanticism of Anja Huwe, drifting through reverb-soaked corridors of bass, fractured guitar and icy rhythm.
This album is defined by absence as much as presence: stark grooves, minimal structures and melodies that linger like half-remembered dreams where tension simmers beneath stillness and emotion is conveyed in echoes rather than excess.
This debut feels both desolate and deeply alive and Self-Incrimination carve out a space where introspection, decay, and beauty quietly collide. FFO Siouxsie and the Banshees, Phantasia, Mazzy Star, Xmal Deutschland.
