Our Take

FOTOCRIME's latest offering, "Accelerated," is a rollercoaster ride through the dark underbelly of post-punk. Frontman R. Patterson, a master of brooding vocals, takes listeners on a journey through pulsating synths, driving basslines, and atmospheric guitars.

The album kicks off with the infectious single "The Rose and the Thorn," a track that hooks you in and doesn't let go. Patterson's haunting lyrics are complemented by the band's tight musicianship, creating a sense of urgency that propels the listener forward.

Tracks like "Nadia (Last Year's Men)" and "Revelation or Illusion" showcase FOTOCRIME's ability to blend elements of new wave and goth rock with a modern twist. The result is a sound that is both nostalgic and current, evoking the heyday of bands like Joy Division and Bauhaus while still sounding fresh and exciting.

"Familiar Prey" is a standout moment on the album, with its infectious melody and driving percussion. Patterson's vocals soar over the pulsating beat, creating a sense of tension and release that is both exhilarating and cathartic.

Overall, "Accelerated" is a masterclass in modern post-punk, with FOTOCRIME delivering a thrilling and captivating listening experience from start to finish. This is an album that demands to be played loud, so crank up the volume and let yourself be swept away by its dark and brooding magic.
