The 1986 Listening Post - K.U.K.L - Holidays in Europe

K.U.K.L - Holidays in Europe

#16/1173

January 24 1986

K.U.K.L.

Holidays in Europe

Genre: Icy cold Icelandic Post-Rock

4.25 out of 5

Highlights:

France (A Mutual Thrill)

Greece (Just By the Book)

So, Bjork and her crew went on a tour to support a pretty challenging record of post-rock and then made a record (their last) inspired by that.

Guess what? It’s even more challenging than the last one. 

When it’s on, it’s freaking bonkers. If cacophony is your jam, you’re gonna love this.

I’m covering this because Bjork. 

If you take out all of the minute attempts at commerciality by Siouxie and the Banshees this is what you end up. A weirdly shrieky, howly but eminently fascinating hellscape of torment and torture. 

I think the songs are mislabeled here. 

The Spire and Dismembered seem to be switched. Dismembered (which is labelled as Spire) is excellent.
