Red West
Reviewed 2025-03-14
One of Wire's founding members, with side projects like He Said & Dome, keeps making intriguing music in his adopted hometown Uppsala, Sweden. EGL's confident aged baritone voice, cool delivery, ambiguously subversive. Glitchy catchy minimal electronics & guitar, great production. Track 8 has a curse, rest clean.

1. + Fades in, catchy electronics. "You will not pass this way again...." wistful lyrics to this song.
2. Syncopated, melodic
3. +Dreamy gritty pop love song
4. Old-sounding guitar & noises, simple spoken words- Shakespeare- "Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything".
5. + Crunchy beat, tired voice starts with "I've run out of meds", "repeated seizures", great texture, not much melody. Vocals sing a bit at end "no drugs of control"
6. This would fit in a 90's Wire album, new-wave + industrial thickness- and indeed it has their drummer Robert Grey on it.
7. Atmospheric, looping, vocals with unintelligible lyrics & brief snippets loosely connected. Has guitar samples from Bruce Gilbert and it is a little Dome-y... goes in a few sections, interesting overall
8. FCC 2.5 & 6 minutes in "who the fuck are we" repeated a few times .... + Dark theatrical lyrics, feedback and guitars, drums
