Our Take

Ah, Lydia Lunch, the self-proclaimed Queen of Siam, has returned with a vengeance on her latest album. "Queen of Siam" is a wild ride through the twisted mind of this avant-garde punk pioneer. With her signature dark, brooding vocals and unconventional song structures, Lunch takes listeners on a journey through the seedy underbelly of New York City.

From the haunting opener "Mechanical Flattery" to the frenzied closer "Tied and Twist", Lunch's unique blend of spoken word poetry and noisy, experimental rock will leave you feeling both disturbed and exhilarated. This album is not for the faint of heart, as Lunch fearlessly delves into themes of violence, sexuality, and alienation.

The instrumentation on "Queen of Siam" is equally as unsettling as Lunch's vocals, with dissonant guitars, pounding drums, and eerie synths creating a cacophony of sound that is both hypnotic and jarring. The production is intentionally lo-fi, adding to the raw, unfiltered energy of the album.

Overall, "Queen of Siam" is a challenging listen, but one that is ultimately rewarding for those willing to embrace its dark, twisted beauty. Lydia Lunch may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for those who dare to enter her twisted world, the rewards are plentiful.

About the artist

Lydia Lunch

Lydia Lunch is a force of nature in the world of music. With a career spanning over four decades, this New York avant-garde artist has carved out her own niche in the industry, defying categorisation at every turn. From her early days as a founding member of the No Wave scene in the late 1970s, to her collaborations with artists such as Nick Cave and Sonic Youth, Lunch has always been unapologetically herself. Known for her raw, confrontational lyrics and aggressive vocal delivery, Lunch's music is not for the faint of heart. Her confrontational approach is matched only by her uncompromising attitude towards the music industry, making her a true punk icon in every sense of the word. With a discography that spans a wide range of genres, including punk, spoken word, and experimental noise, Lunch has never been one to stick to one sound. Her live performances are a whirlwind of energy and chaos, leaving audiences simultaneously exhilarated and exhausted. Despite her status as an underground legend, Lunch has never shied away from the mainstream, collaborating with a diverse range of artists and filmmakers. Her influence can be felt in the work of everyone from PJ Harvey to Lana Del Rey, proving that her impact on the music world is as relevant as ever. In a world of manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter hits, Lydia Lunch stands out as a true original. Her music may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge into her dark, twisted world, the rewards are endless.
