Episode 225: 6/4/2023

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#225’ on it.

We started this show with some fresh new industrial, goth, and darkwave songs. Then we played a set of synthpop and minimal wave tracks, including some requested ones (thanks, Amanda!). We followed that with a set of goth, darkwave, and synthwave with a vague underlying summer theme. That was followed with some goth and darkwave tracks from around the world. The fifth block was a set of psychedelic-leaning post-punk, and we finished the show with a set of shoegaze tracks.
