So, this sort of picks up where we left off with these guys last time, yes? That Bauhaus meets Siouxie sound seems to predate the 90s in a great way. Were they ahead of their time or did a bunch of musicians follow their lead?
The band thought this was rushed and not up to par. No one else agrees with them. This is, perhaps, an example of artists not being able to overthink anything because this album filled me with emotions I had suppressed. It's a dream and catharsis, gorgeous and ugly.
I love this record.
On a sunny Saturday, like today.
Maybe if it was raining.
Or the world was burning.
Or the kids are grown and visiting.
I think this would work for all of that and more.
I'm glad I didn't give up on them after Garland. This is a treat.
