Against the Night

A gravel-voiced accordion odyssey through pre-millennial dread. Raw, theatrical, and deeply lonely, it sounds like a cabaret performance at the end of the world.

June 1, 1999

A heavy, pre-millennial existential dread balanced by a fierce, theatrical defiance.

Moments Worth Listening For

The desperate, rhythmic wheezing of the accordion bellows that opens the title track.

The transition from the frantic energy of Dance While the Sky Crashes Down into the hollow silence of the following tracks.

The final, lingering notes of Last Song that feel like a literal goodbye to the listener.
