Don't agree with the darkwave/ industrial tag. AMG class this as Alternative Indie/Pop/Rock which I think is closer to the mark. Anyway love it so thanks for posting.
Never heard them before, but the track sounds quite dark (like Swans for instance) and don't think this is indie or pop!

If 'yer gonna tag this thing then tag it as simply 'beyond brilliant'.
Their first album is utterly fabulous but this didn't just take things up a notch, it took 'em to literally another fucking planet on which to live. Like I said, beyond brilliant and completely breathtaking and without a doubt one of two or three favourite albums I've ever had the good fortune to own and play to death, over the entire time I've been buying records.
In other words, since '79.
Myself and my two best friends went to see them live in Stoke a short while after they'd released Understanding and they were a thing to behold, the pair of them, stood up there on a tiny little stage literally playing the fucking heart out of their music as if the world was gonna be destroyed very fucking soon. They were both drenched in sweat and breathless by the time they'd finished and the three of us were left stood in awe after just experiencing what was nothing less than a force of nature.
Spoke to them afterwards and they were lovely. We however were astonished to learn that in the whole of the UK they'd sold less than 200 copies of Understanding.
The world is mad.
Anyway, hindsight is wonderful, and shit. They couldn't maintain anything like the level they reached with Threnody and sadly, for me, after this they not only went backwards but also went rapidly downhill, at the same time. I won't write anymore of their subsequent releases.
This lovely, special and magnificent work of art is more than any other mere mortals could ever hope to be responsible for. It is ALL brilliant, but those two songs - the dripping-with-atmosphere-and-menace thing of beauty that is 'Moth', and the star-destroying, mountain & snowflake gift to us all that is 'She', are two gems that exist out there, all around me, just like my past and my future.
I love this band, THIS album, more meaningfully than I've loved some people.
The world isn't mad; people are. So I'm okay with that.
Thanks for posting, and I deeply envy anybody who comes to this now for the first time.
Be well.
Hi,
Actually, I couldn'd care less about the whole tag dispute - even if I find that alternative pop/rock is far too generic and missing the point completely.
What I do care about though are insightful and deeply personal comments - such as the emotional testimony above. So, thanks Mace Hane for sharing that with us.
Take care
