In honor of The Soft Moon’s debut Sacred Bones album Criminal available February 2, Luis Vasquez co-curates Week in Pop with the following exclusive guest selections:

I’ve recently become obsessed with Nostilevo, an industrial label based in Los Angeles with a focus on limited cassette releases. I’ve been giving their catalog all ears as of the past few weeks. It’s re-opened up a world for me, a world continuing the path with similar sonic aesthetics of bands like early Throbbing Gristle and SPK, but at the same time Nostilevo is doing something in it’s own right, something special.
