Our Take
Our Take
The latest offering from the legendary post-punk band, The Membranes, is a wild, untamed journey through the rugged landscapes of nature and the human psyche. Aptly titled "What Nature Gives... Nature Takes Away," this album is a bold and ambitious statement that showcases the band's fearless creativity and uncompromising vision.
From the opening track, "A Strange Perfume," to the closing notes of "The City Is An Animal," The Membranes take listeners on a sonic rollercoaster ride that is equal parts exhilarating and unsettling. With its thunderous drums, swirling guitars, and haunting vocals, this album is a force of nature in its own right.
Lyrically, The Membranes explore themes of ecological collapse, urban decay, and the fragile beauty of the natural world. Songs like "A Murder of Crows" and "The 21st Century Is Killing Me" paint a bleak yet strangely captivating portrait of our modern world, while tracks like "What Nature Gives" offer a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.
Overall, "What Nature Gives... Nature Takes Away" is a masterful work of art that defies categorization and demands to be heard. The Membranes have once again proven themselves to be pioneers of the post-punk genre, pushing boundaries and challenging conventions with every note. Do yourself a favour and experience this album for yourself - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist
The Membranes
MEMBRANES: The Insatiable Noise Makers Hailing from the gritty streets of Manchester, MEMBRANES are not your average music outfit. Led by the enigmatic frontman John Robb, this cacophonous collective has been making waves in the underground music scene for over three decades. With a sound that can only be described as a sonic assault on the senses, MEMBRANES have carved out a niche for themselves as one of the most innovative and uncompromising bands in the industry. Their latest album, "What Nature Gives... Nature Takes Away," is a relentless barrage of noise and distortion that will leave you simultaneously exhilarated and exhausted. From the pounding drums to the screeching guitars, every element of MEMBRANES' music is designed to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in the world of rock and roll. But don't let their abrasive sound fool you – there is a method to the madness of MEMBRANES. Their lyrics are a searing indictment of the political and social injustices of our time, delivered with a passion and sincerity that is impossible to ignore. With tracks like "The City is an Animal" and "A Murder of Crows," MEMBRANES prove that they are not afraid to tackle the big issues head-on. So if you're tired of the same old boring music that dominates the airwaves, give MEMBRANES a listen. They may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are well worth it. As John Robb himself once said, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room." And MEMBRANES are living proof of that.
