Dark Wave of Sound compilation New Wave Paisley BabylonThe makers of the Dark Wave Of Sound compilation saw fit to include Paisley Babylon’s Midnight Thunderstorm Sex in its collection of dark and doomy tracks. That one keeps showing up on the comps, which leads one to believe that people love to invite Mother Nature to watch them getting it on. Which is fine and wonderful, but do take photos.

Paisley Babylon’s next full-length release is nearly finished. Called “Electronic Acid”, the album so far is 11 tracks of surrealism, a dose of harsh ambient, a dash of power electronics, aural hallucinations and inner journeys to outer space. Samples are coming soon, and there will be a single or two released from this album in remixed form prior to the official album launch.

In the meantime, Paisley Babylon’s Joe Wallace has been working with Esmeralda Trujillo on a project called Binary Partners, with a live performance scheduled in December ahead of a full-length LP release scheduled for early 2013. In the meantime, here’s a sample of what to expect from Binary Partners, which is a return to old-school first generation industrial and experimental music (before the industrial genre became overtaken by sequenced drum tracks, cocaine abuse, and football fans–think Throbbing Gristle, Coil, and Wire rather than Ministry and Pigface.)

Paisley Babylon: Sexy Hangover

Leave a comment

Here’s an excerpt from a new, longish Paisley Babylon track called “Sexy Hangover”. Fans of Nurse With Wound, Coil, the more ambient selections from Nine Inch Nails’ The Fragile, and Eno should be able to find something to love about this.




Recorded in Chicago, Illinois, this new Paisley Babylon track is part of a new release that combines soundtrack sounds, electronica, loop-based live performances, 80s industrial, and mid-period Eno. Stay tuned for more–there is PLENTY to come.
