Dutch post-punk outfit Desinteresse has just announced the release of De Profundis Clamavi, a compilation cassette on their Decadencethat harks back to the stark chill of 1980s French coldwave. Bart and Sem, the Dutch duo behind Desinteresse, know a thing or two about the stripped-down, no-frills approach that fueled those underground compilations. They’re not here for the gloss—they’re here to capture raw energy, straight from the basement, with just the right amount of frostbite.
De Profundis Clamavi digs deep into the coldwave graveyard and drags out a few old ghosts…but it’s no nostalgia trip. This release uses their inspirations to inject fresh blood into the underground scene. The compilation features a tight roster—Âmes Solitaires, De Vergissing, Jeux Interdits, Tout Debord, Desinteresse, and Frénésie—with each band sharing a connection to Desinteresse.
De Profundis Clamavi also includes two live tracks from Desinteresse, alongside two demos from their earlier incarnation as Jeux Interdits, offering a glimpse into the band’s evolution.
The album is exclusively available on YouTube and cassette. Listen below and pre-order the cassettes here.
