Stickfigure Records

Retconned 1998 - present.

Synthpunk in the vein of Suicide, The Units, The Screamers. Retconned's early material combined the primitive, minimal wave melodies of Martin Rev or Dark Day with digital noise, aliasing effects, and confounding, neuraesthenic vocal performances. Their later material became increasingly instrumental, somber, and saturated, and began to take on aspects of kosmische and drone. Retconned shares the ethos of post-punk groups like Section 25, Primitive Calculators, or Isolation Ward, but filters post-punk through a variety of malformed iterations of traditional hooks, structures, and instrumentation.
