Even with Lucian Casselman’s soaring soprano voice, Remnants of a Deeper Purity is hardly to be considered “Ethereal Goth.” The music is far too grounded.
A compilation of 7″s and 12″s. The result is an encapsulated look at a band that lived an hour away from Nation of Ulysses, Rites Of Spring, and Fugazi.
A few beats too many, making them stagger like a guy wearing two different shoes, and the guitars play notes that sound uncomfortable next to each other.
A compilation of their older stuff remixed by different artists/producers. As a whole, it rivals any of their other releases, at times surpassing them.
Great skronk-work, with some grinding rock, and a slight dab of alterna-rock. Off-center engine part rhythms, and influences from Pere Ubu to Jesus Lizard.
