Dance This Way by This Window Dance This Way by This Window is now available to download. Downloads Dance this way. Not a request — a command dressed as charm. A man moves through his evening as if it belongs solely to him. His girlfriend is not a companion but an accessory — something to position, display, or activate when it flatters his mood. She becomes part of the room’s furniture, folded into his social performance rather than invited into it. The power dynamic is quiet but unmistakable: the unspoken click of the fingers, the expectation that she will fall into step, smile on cue, dance when summoned. What looks like intimacy is really choreography. What he calls a relationship is closer to possession. We have reverted back to the Victorian era... Victorian attitudes toward women—where femininity was prized for its decorative and submissive qualities—continue to echo in modern society. The poem “Dance this Way” exposes this lingering toxicity: a woman reduced to a prop in a man’s...

Extractivism by This Window Listen Here Gone Like the Whispers of Silent Clouds began life as a soundtrack fragment — an extract recorded at Morgue Studios in 2026 for a short experimental video. Built around flickering Super 8 home‑movie footage and digital imagery, the piece mirrors the film’s drifting, dreamlike collage: half‑memory, half‑hallucination, always on the edge of dissolving. Gone Like The Whispers Of Silent Clouds from Extractivism by This Window   Musically, it occupies the borderlands where darkwave, minimal synth, post‑industrial and experimental gothic overlap. The foundation is a slow, deliberate pulse: brooding synth beds, cold atmospheres, and vocals that lean toward spoken word rather than song. The arrangement stays sparse and intentional — minimal electronics, icy textures, and non‑pop structures that echo the ethos of the 1980s cassette‑culture underground. Instead of building toward a hook, the track unfolds like a mood‑study: an audio vignette shaped ...

Extractivism by This Window Listen Here Misogynist, a track by This Window, was recorded around 2010, and the piece sits in that uneasy space where affection, resentment, and misread intentions blur into one another. Relationships often carry that dual charge — love and frustration, tenderness and volatility — and when the emotional weather turns unclear, people can end up misjudged or mislabelled. The weight of the word The title carries its own history. Misogynist comes from the Greek misogynḗs — miso- meaning “hatred” and gynḗ meaning “woman,” with the English suffix -ist indicating “a person who does something.” In modern use it can describe entrenched prejudice against women, but the track plays with the tension between accusation and misunderstanding. It hints at how quickly a person can be branded with a word that may not reflect the deeper, more complicated truth of a relationship’s dynamics.

Extractivism by This Window Listen Here Anna Logge (I.L.Y.) first surfaced in 1987 on Insane Music For Insane People Vol. 16, part of the long-running Belgian underground series curated by Insane Music. Even in that eclectic context, the track stood out — a strange, affectionate salute to the world of analogue tape recorders and early synth culture, delivered with both grit and a crooked smile. At its core, the piece is a love letter to the machines themselves. The wobble, the hiss, the mechanical drag of ageing tape — all of it becomes part of the composition. There are clear nods to dub reggae’s spacious low-end and Ballard-esque post-punk rock minimalism, but the hybrid that emerges is its own creature: dirty, gritty, whimsical, and slightly unstable in all the right ways. The recording process is inseparable from the sound. Built on a Tascam 144 Portastudio and a domestic Philips ¼" reel-to-reel, the track carries the fingerprints o...

Extractivism by This Window Listen Here The Age of Reason is a stark meditation on the moment innocence fractures and self-awareness takes its place. Drawing loosely from Sartre’s existential landscape—Nausea, Iron in the Soul—the track moves through a world stripped of comforting illusions, where play gives way to responsibility and warmth recedes into the cold light of consciousness. “Reprieve was promised for us tonight / Our history is written in black and white.” The lyric hints at Sartre’s idea of bad faith: the human urge to hide from freedom behind fixed narratives and borrowed meanings. Love and guilt, peace and conflict, all collapse into binaries. The “reprieve” becomes a false shelter, and the “black and white” history suggests a story already written, leaving no room for ambiguity or choice. What remains is a philosophical lament—an elegy for the playful self and a clear-eyed co...

Extractivism by This Window New Download Album Released Extractivism by This Window Listen Here 11 tracks for only £4.00 This digital album brings together a collection of new tracks that have never been released before, alongside rediscovered pieces and fresh remixes. It offers a new chapter in the long, shape‑shifting story of This Window — a project that has existed on the fringes of experimental music since the 1980s. Formed within the UK’s cassette‑culture underground, This Window has always operated in the borderlands: part post‑industrial, part minimal synth, part sound‑art, part lo‑fi experimentation. Across decades of tapes, vinyl, CD‑Rs and digital releases, the project has remained defiantly independent, favouring texture, atmosphere and emotional undercurrents over conventional song structures. The sound has shifted with each era — from raw four‑track recordings to more sculpted electronic work — but the ethos has stayed constant: intimate, handmade, exploratory. This coll...

Avocets by This Window Avocets is now available to download. Downloads Grow Tired In Long Grass Avocets comes across as a small, self‑contained anomaly in the This Window catalogue — a piece that feels both minimal and quietly disorienting. Originally released in 2009, it revolves around a hypnotic beat, the kind that feels like it’s pulling you forward even as everything around it stays eerily still. Over that pulse, a single church bell tolls like a fragment of some half‑remembered ritual, while a feeding‑back guitar threads through the mix in thin, needling arcs.  The restraint is the point: nothing explodes, nothing resolves, and yet the tension never drops. It’s edged, unsettled, and slightly uncanny — a study in how little you need to create a mood that lingers long after the track ends. L’Avocette est un échassier noir et blanc au plumage très distinctif, doté d’un long bec recourbé vers le haut ; le morceau Avocets est une chanson dont le texte frôle volontairement le surr...
