Old Leader by Naked on the Vague
Album Description
Since it's initial 2007 release, Naked on the Vague's debut album
‘"the Blood Pressure Sessions" has gone on to floor
people across the globe landing them with a enviable vinyl re-issue
on the influential US imprint Siltbreeze. The album is a deep dive
into the depths of apocalyptic pop and psychedelic weirdness. Disparate
vocals grip onto stabbing keys and menacing hook-laden bass lines,
pushed on by a relentless drum machine, far past its warranty period,
giving the whole of their sound a sonorous curtain of ecstatic foreboding.
Essentially a ‘punk assault ranging from some almost dance-able
short and sharp ‘hits’
to gloomy extended freak-outs.
Lucy and Mathew take direction from where the short lived no-wave
movement ended, expanding on what that imploded scene could have garnished
had it not succumbed to its own fatalistic shortcomings.
“'like something from a claustrophobic horror-movie soundtrack'
Pitchfork
“'Co-ed duo wanderings of a decidedly dark and altogether chilling
nature, either bending in a beautifully ebbing continuous tone meander,
or thumping chest with steel-eyed intensity'” - Dusted
"This
is the type of noise that compels people to cut themselves, writhe on
the floor, dance and laugh, all within the same moment." - SKYSCRAPER.
"if this was released 30 years ago, it would be studied and
discussed with fervor just as other No Wave classics are getting
treated today." - Jackson Glass
