Our Take
Our Take
The year was 1979. Margaret Thatcher had just been elected Prime Minister, The Clash were tearing up the punk scene, and THIS HEAT released their seminal album, Repeat / Metal. A strange, avant-garde concoction of industrial noise, dub reggae, and post-punk sensibilities, this album was like nothing else at the time.
As the opening track "Repeat" kicks in with its stuttering drums and dissonant guitars, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band's unique use of tape loops and homemade instruments creates a chaotic, otherworldly sound that is both thrilling and unsettling.
But it's not all noise and aggression. Tracks like "Metal" and "Horizontal Hold" showcase the band's experimental approach to songwriting, with intricate rhythms and haunting melodies that linger long after the music has stopped.
THIS HEAT may not have achieved mainstream success, but their influence can be heard in the work of countless artists across the globe. Repeat / Metal is a timeless masterpiece that deserves a place in any music lover's collection. So put on your headphones, crank up the volume, and prepare to be blown away. This is music like you've never heard before.
