A bootleg with bad sound and shaky footage. Once past that, it’s pretty enjoyable. Contemporaries of Joy Division, Sigue Sique Sputnik, and Sisters of Mercy.
I don’t know much about this shit. Drum’n’bass, uh-huh, breakbeat, yup, horror-fixation, know it. But if this is considered good or bad, man, it’s beyond me…
Singer Jason Novak is a fuck-everyone motherfucker, and while the tunes might not blaze a path of redemption or damnation, they’re kick-ass tunes for the trip.
Dark, violent, sensual, chilling: Everything a good aggro/rock/industrial/metal album should be. From Chicago, where this stuff was born, lives, and breathes.
Australian seductress/occasional Zero 7 vocalist Sia should be no stranger to anyone who indulges in the air-y, sensual chillout sort of TV soundtrack ambience.
