Our Take
Our Take
THE FILTHY TONGUES' latest offering, "In The Dark Places," feels like a sonic journey through a dimly lit alleyway in the heart of a rainy, gritty city. This Scottish trio delivers a brooding mix of post-punk and darkwave that is as haunting as it is catchy.
Lead singer Martin Metcalfe's gravelly vocals cut through the murky atmosphere like a knife, while guitarist Frank Tonner's reverb-soaked riffs add a touch of noir to the proceedings. The rhythm section of Derek Kelly and Fin Wilson keep things moving along at a steady pace, never letting the gloom overwhelm the listener.
Standout tracks like "Holy Brothers" and "Children of the Filthy" showcase the band's ability to craft eerie, atmospheric tunes that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. The album as a whole feels like a late-night drive through a deserted city, with each song adding a new layer of darkness and intrigue.
While "In The Dark Places" may not reinvent the wheel when it comes to post-punk music, it certainly shows that The Filthy Tongues are masters of their craft. If you're in the mood for some moody, atmospheric rock that will transport you to another world, then this album is definitely worth a listen. Just make sure to keep the lights on while you do.
