Episode 223: 5/7/2023

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#223’ on it.

We began this edition with some new goth, darkwave, and synthpunk tracks. That was followed by a set of industrial and EBM tracks. The third block was a set of industrialized techno. The fourth block was a set of mostly recent synthpop and darkwave songs. The fifth block got experimental, with some noise rock and kosmiche/krautrock-inspired songs. Then we wound things down with some shoegaze and ambient.
