Plastique Noir - Affects

2011-10-02 / hellium / Reads: 3011

Like a good old Joy Division, this release drags in a fully conscious way into a reality of overwhelming feelings, that can break the inwardness of the audience. The opening track of this record "Rose of Flesh And Blond" already gives a pretty good kick. Adequate tones, well-considered lyrics and...

A new release from LPF12, a well-known project to admirers of an other-worldly sound, is a collection of ten pieces, which in a full way gives a common sense of loss and loneliness in an urbanized world. The sounds collected on this CD are enveloped in a grim melancholy, that...
