Thursday's Bells. The first track from Which Direction Goes The Beam the second album from Index For Working Music. It's wired and weird. Velvety, (I'm talking Velvet Underground) We're off I wonder whether we're moving into a new phase now. Everywhere you look there are dystopic, twisted visions. This is only the latest down the pike. The water is swimming with nightmares.
Only Ones, Magazine, The Cure, Pere Ubu. 13th Floor Elevators, Televisuin, Wire. Bookshelves of worn and greying Penguin Classic Paperback. Opiated dreams. Symbolists, Modernists, Post Modernists, Satirists, Surrealists. Vorticists. Marxists, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, Anarchists, Nihilists. Pampleteers. Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks. Index For Working Music are out on tour next week. Catch them. In the meantime hear this . It's a fantabulous album. There are insects twitching under its skin.
Yeah, liked this on first listen, but need to back to it now. Can't remember if you reviewed their first album or not, but that was great, too. I'm struggling to give albums more than one listen at the moment! It's starting to annoy me. Need to pause and go back. Recent albums I also have in mind include Lily Seabird, Dick Texas, Florist and The South Hill Experiment.
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling for time too Darren. Thanks for the suggestions. Florist was OK. But there are quite a lot like that . Will listen to the others.
DeleteYes, I think you are right, Bruce. I struggled with the Free Range album for that reason, even though I had been looking forward to it. It was fine, but didn't really stand out.
