Darklands
The Jesus And Mary Chain
The band replaces a live drummer with a skeletal, programmed beat that creates a cold and lonely atmosphere. Distorted feedback is discarded for a precise, moody focus.
Jangling guitars blend with a detached vocal delivery across the tracklist. The album captures a specific mid-eighties gloom through its reverb-heavy and consistent approach to the material.
