NAKED ON THE VAGUE
TWELVE DARK NOONS
Having expanded from the no-wave two piece of Lucy Cliche and Matthew Hopkins to a fully fleshed out four piece including drummer Lachlan Vercoe and bassist Nic De Jong, our favorite Australian outcasts return with a stunning EP as their follow-up to last year's full length on Siltbreeze. This EP is a bit lighter in mood and delivery; in the words of the band's own Hopkins it's a bit like, "Dracula fronting the B-52's". While this is certainly Hopkins taking the piss, opening track, "The Gift" is a perfectly modern homage to past dark lords such as Bauhaus and Christian Death. |
