Reviewed 2003-08-07
Spooky rock, new wave beats and definite likeness to contemporaries Lost Sounds, Glass Candy, Phantom Limbs. Locals with former members of Subtonix (have played wed night live at least twice), and it shows. Dark minor tones, guit, bass, drums with spooky synths. Great stuff! Reminiscent of all things Siouxsie and the Banshees, early Cure, New Order, Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA.

1) synth solo, dark
2) new wave beat+vocs appear
3) slower swingy deep bass line, glass candy’ish voc delivery
4) mid, dark, cool breaks, dark
5) human league meets cab Voltaire, buried voices, mostly instrumental
6) new wave beat returns, screams
7) instrumental, heavy New Order bass
8) instrumental, slow synths
9) mid-slow beat, very Siouxsie
10) dark synth only instrumental
