Our Take
Our Take
Swedish gothic post-punk band True Moon is back with their sophomore album, appropriately titled "II (Clear Vinyl)". But is this release a clear winner, or just a transparent attempt at relevance?
From the opening track, "Restless Summer", True Moon immediately transports listeners to a haunted beach party where the ghosts of Joy Division and Siouxsie Sioux are the DJs. The guitars are angular, the bass is brooding, and the vocals are as icy as a Scandinavian winter.
Lead singer Karolina Engdahl's haunting voice cuts through the mix like a knife, guiding the listener through tales of heartbreak, longing, and existential dread. Tracks like "Sugar" and "Poison" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy hooks that stick in your head like a curse.
But it's not all gloom and doom on "II (Clear Vinyl)". The band injects moments of dark humour and wit into their lyrics, adding a layer of complexity to their sound. The production is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine while creating an atmosphere that is as cold and desolate as the Swedish countryside.
Overall, True Moon's "II (Clear Vinyl)" is a strong follow-up to their debut album, showcasing a band that is unafraid to push the boundaries of post-punk while staying true to their gothic roots. It may not be groundbreaking, but it's definitely a solid addition to any goth's vinyl collection.
