Sounds and Shadows is Kenneth Magerman and Rachel Pool. A few years back I felt something stirring in the dark emotional music I loved. A move back into the forefront of Goth/Industrial/Post Punk/ColdWave/Darkwave/EDM ect. So many new bands were bursting on the scene it became difficult to find and appreciate everything I was hearing. Yet when I went in search of music review pages that too had changed while I wasn’t paying attention. The emphasis had changed to quick blurbs and online media posts. I got it in my head to start writing about everything I was hearing and what those beautiful sounds made me feel. I brought my partner Rachel on board (A much better writer than me) to help keep up with everything I was hearing and wanted to express. I found I was not alone in people who had a hunger for reviews that went into more than a brief synopsis and took a deeper look at the vision we took away from these artists.
Prepare yourselves for the discussion of a lifetime between Ken Magerman and Joe Tobin. Two Goths with so much in common, but key differences. In todays interview, we talk about the music, the fashion, and the ideology behind Goth.
