Faith

A bleak, monochromatic masterpiece of gothic post-punk. Cavernous reverb, melodic bass leads, and a funereal pace define this study in spiritual isolation.

Grave consolidation

A heavy, liturgical solemnity hangs over these eight tracks, transforming the band's sparse post-punk into a series of vast, fog-shrouded environments. The music slows to a funereal crawl, replacing traditional guitar leads with a high, singing six-string bass that carries the main melodies through cavernous layers of reverb.

Moments Worth Waiting For
02PrimaryThe driving, twin-bass attack of 'Primary' stands as the album's only uptempo moment, relying entirely on rhythmic propulsion instead of keyboards.
04All Cats Are GreyOn 'All Cats Are Grey', the guitar is completely abandoned in favor of a slow, echoing drum machine and a mournful keyboard wash.
