What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.

Second album from UK band released in 2007.

A former member here - Dogbreath - had some dealings with this band from Leeds, and alerted the MD membership to their existence.

Unremittingly gloomy gloomy lyrics, combined with some funereal music sounds like an oppressive pairing, but I like this album a lot. Vocalist David Martin also sounds quite like Joy Division's Ian Curtis, so I'm sure you get the picture.

The guitars do occasionally soar in a Post-Rock stylee, but it's basically a pretty dark album.


AllMusic 3/5 stars.
