When I first laid my Melton Mobray pies (eyes) on this LP I totally thought I was going to be dragged kicking and screaming into the darkest bowels of mans domain. It looked as much fun as a weekend hanging out with Quentin Wilson and an industrial sized bucket of Swarfega. Thankfully it isn't. This three piece do have a dark sound that does have a slightly gothic twinge. The sleeve is black and white and looks like space and pyramids. Space and pyramids > together at last. Despite all the dark-wave posturing, the music on this Leo Sayer (long player) has an unrelenting upbeat feel. All the songs are propelled along by urgent beats and scratchy uptempo guitars. Add softly sung vocals, a helping of reverb and you have all the ingredients for a hearty worthwhile musical feast that sits somewhere between Big Black and Depeche Mode. I reckon this is a pretty strong record and with enough mood and intrigue to keep you interested. Not bad at all...
Permanent released Black Math's eponymous debut LP in a paltry edition of 100 copies. It immediately SOLD OUT and has been asked for regularly ever since. One fan offered as much as $120, hoping to find a remaining copy! Needless to say, their follow-up LP has been highly anticipated. This album features 9 new tracks of killer dark- wave pop (with some pretty harsh sounding guitar and synth parts) as well as an amazing cover of the Anals' "Commando of Love" (from the Anals' now sold out LP "Total Anal," also on Permanent). First press is limited to 500 copies and includes a digital download link. For Fans Of: Jesus and Mary Chain, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Big Black, Anals, and dark, fuzzy, modern synth p
