Coup de Grace

The Stranglers

A weary, war-influenced collection of mid-tempo rock. Burnel's heavy bass meets Greenfield's haunting keys in a landscape of political and personal fatigue.

The Stranglers go to war and come back with a heavy, bass-driven meditation on what's left behind.

A weary and contemplative exploration of conflict and its aftermath, delivered with a dark, melodic pulse.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The skeletal, vulnerable arrangement of In the End where the usual bravado completely evaporates.
The driving, classic JJ Burnel bassline that anchors God Is Good with a familiar but darkened menace.
The atmospheric, sprawling six-minute conclusion of The Light which layers synths into a thick, hazy wall.
