WHITE LIES "ritual" cd,2010. #3 UK, #95 US
one of Tems recommendations for me...
second album by this London,UK trio...
sound is firmly planted in the music of the UK from the early 1980s...
lots and lots of Joy Division sounds here, bits of Depeche Mode and Spandau Ballet's "to cut a long story short" type sounds.
all very good stuff IMO, good to hear that stuff reinvented for the '00s...
its a bit of a grower, taking several listens to strike a chord with me, but well worth the effort...
