England’s industrial dark wave specialists Natural Assembly released a music video for their new song “When We Two Parted,” and it’s a good’un. A mix of post-WWI era footage of London, sped-up flowers blooming and concert footage presented in a silent film visual style make for a dark and ominous canvas over which the seriously dance-y, synthed-out track plays. Love those drowned, echoing vocals. “When We Two Parted” is the first song off of a forthcoming Natural Assembly release due out early next year. If there was a ever a band that should play Nothing Changes, Natural Assembly is it. Check out the video below.

Speaking of below-Delancey’s dark/no/cold wave party of record, Nothing Changes marched into December last night with a performance by the Argentine-German synth-pop duo Mueran Humanos (pictured above), who are currently in town recording a follow-up to their 2010 self-titled at Heaven Street Records. Did you go? Good time?

Nothing Changes also just announced that Dominick Fernow of Prurient, Vatican Shadow and Hospital Productions fame will be DJing the previously discussed Clay Rendering (12/11) show which also has Christopher Hansell (Sacred Bones) and Ning Nong (Raspberry Bulbs) DJing. More just-announced Nothing Changes dates including shows by Dark Blue (12/18), STATIQBLOOM (1/15) (Fade Kainer of Batillus) with Søren (of Rosenkopf) and more. Updated schedule below.

In Batillus news, the Brooklyn doom bruisers just put out a cover of Ministry‘s “Lava” that will be on a forthcoming 7″ with Kowloon Walled City, who contributed a cover of Godflesh‘s (touring soon) “Anthem” for their half. Both sides of the split are streaming below. Batillus’ song “Concrete” was also just given a very creepy remix by Andy Stott (who they’ve played with), which you can hear at Pitchfork.

Check out the Natural Assembly vid, upcoming Nothing Changes lineups, and the Batillus/Kowloon walled City streams, below…
