Does it bother you when people are labeling your music gothic?

Not at all. Goth influences and gothic imagery are pervasive in our output. But people call us a lot of things. No one likes being labeled, even though it’s inevitable. My only hope is that no matter what people call us, the music comes across honestly.

Here’s a sample from Goth supergroup The Eden House’s new “Timeflows EP.” The EP will be released on February 27th 2012 through Jungle Records. The digital download version will be made available a week earlier on the 20th.

Great Gothic British band O Children have announced that they have a new album coming out this year, though details are still sparse. In a post to their Facebook page, the band said that they were “almost back,” and they they have “a new album and a small london show on Feb 7th.” You can find out more about that London show with TOY and Red Kite, here. So let the official anticipation begin! 

In the meantime, let’s enjoy the excellent single “Ruins” from their 2010 self-titled debut album.
