Our Take

Section 25's "Always Now" is a delightful journey through the avant-garde landscapes of post-punk music. With pulsating basslines, ethereal synthesizers, and hypnotic vocals, this album is a time capsule of the early 80s Manchester music scene. The band's experimental approach to songwriting is evident throughout the record, with tracks like "Friendly Fires" and "Charnel Ground" showcasing their willingness to push the boundaries of conventional music. The mixture of electronic and organic sounds creates a unique sonic tapestry that is both captivating and immersive. Lead vocalist Larry Cassidy's haunting delivery adds an air of mystery to the album, with his brooding lyrics and enigmatic presence drawing the listener in like a moth to a flame. The band's use of repetition and layering adds depth and complexity to the songs, creating an almost hypnotic effect that is both entrancing and infectious. Overall, "Always Now" is a mesmerising listening experience that transports you to another time and place. Section 25 have truly crafted a masterpiece that stands the test of time and cements their place as pioneers of the post-punk genre. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare to lose yourself in the mesmerising sounds of Section 25's "Always Now".
