Our Take
Our Take
In the dark, damp corners of the music industry lurks THEN COMES SILENCE, a band so mysterious, they make the shadowy figures in a David Lynch film look like open books. Their latest offering, "Trickery," is a tantalizing blend of post-punk brooding and gothic melodrama that will leave you both haunted and elated.
From the opening notes of "We Lose the Night," you are transported to a world where the night sky is a shimmering veil of uncertainty and the only guiding light is the pulsating bassline. Lead singer Alex Svenson's vocals are a hypnotic mix of Ian Curtis and Nick Cave, weaving tales of love and loss with a sinister elegance.
Tracks like "Dark End" and "In Your Name" showcase the band's ability to create a sense of urgency and unease, with pounding drums and searing guitar riffs that cut through the darkness like a blade. The standout track, "She Lies in Wait," is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, with lyrics that paint a picture of a femme fatale who is as alluring as she is dangerous.
"Trickery" is a mesmerising journey through the shadows, guided by THEN COMES SILENCE's expert hand. Whether you're a fan of darkwave, post-punk, or just appreciate good music, this album is a must-listen. So pour yourself a glass of absinthe, dim the lights, and let THEN COMES SILENCE lead you into the inky depths of their world. You won't regret it.
