I have an old friend who argues that people never change; I always disagree with him. And yet, here I am reading Thomas Pynchon and listening to Nina Hagen just as I would 40 years ago.
C'est une belle journée. On est en vie le soleil brille.
Et si on se sortait un album qui a 42 ans? Un truc comme nous, qui n'a pas vieilli d'une ride.
The Sound est incroyablement inconnu du grand public et pourtant si vous discutez avec des DJ de Joy Division / The Cure tous les connaissent et les mettent au même niveau.
Allez comprendre...
Gardez cet album précieusement, c'est un bijou inestimable. Vous vous ferez des amis en le diffusant 😁.
Post-punk is a reaction to the punk movement of the 70s - 80s. It features more elaborate production, depressive themes and gothic instrumentation (often angular and sharp). This genre is one of my absolute favorites.
Glad to find a cheap copy of this classic. Was a big Squirrel Bait fan and was impressed where they went with Slint and other projects after the breakup.
Yeah The Soft Moon is very unique, I think his sound is getting more industrial and experimental with each release. I prefer post-punk so some tracks are challenging for my ears but I’m glad he’s pushing the boundaries and doing his thing!
Challenging is a great descriptor, haha! If any artists come to mind, I’m curious as to what else you might recommend along a similar vein? I have Soft Moon spread across very different playlists, and some tracks just hit me right in the gut, and are best avoided. Listening to an album straight through requires a, uh, specific kind of mood, but I very much appreciate their skill and eclecticism.
Decent. I dig it. It’s a little more geared towards a dance club or something than NiN but with a lower BPM than some others that come to mind (Celldweller). The singer sounds a bit like Greg Puciato - a little more emo than angry.
