Our Take

FOTOCRIME's latest album, "Principle Of Pain," is a masterclass in Gothic post-punk that will make you want to throw on your darkest eyeliner and dance the night away. Frontman R. Pattern serves up brooding vocals that cut through the swirling synths and throbbing basslines with a razor-sharp intensity.

The album kicks off with the infectious opener "Nadia (Last Year's Men)," a pulsating track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From the haunting melodies of "Hold Me In The Night" to the driving rhythms of "Blue Smoke," FOTOCRIME effortlessly blends elements of new wave and shoegaze to create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Lyrically, "Principle Of Pain" delves deep into themes of heartbreak, addiction, and existential angst, all wrapped up in Pattern's signature cryptic storytelling. Tracks like "In The Trance Of Love" and "Love Is A Devil" explore the darker corners of the human experience with a raw honesty that is both unsettling and cathartic.

Overall, "Principle Of Pain" is a haunting and hypnotic journey through the shadows of the human psyche. FOTOCRIME have crafted an album that is equal parts melancholic and euphoric, a perfect soundtrack for those late-night existential crises or dance-floor escapades. So grab your black lipstick and put on your dancing shoes, because FOTOCRIME is here to take you on a dark and twisted ride.
