This album came with no information, so when I saw it had a Rebecca Leigh in it, I figured I would give it a shot. Rebeccas generally rule. The names were listed in the liner notes in alphabetical order, so I had no way of knowing anything. Well, Ms. Leigh does in fact sing, but the fact remained that I still knew nothing about the album.
They’re a rock band. You can hear some R.E.M., but overall it’s only mildly inspiring. “Cage the Lions” reminds me of Lackadaisy. The music is slightly brooding but not threatening, ike Siouxsie and the Banshees in their later days.
Just when you think it’s another trapped in the 1980s band, “Webs” comes along. It has a 1990s feel to it! It’s not bad, although the drum beat is mixed a little too high for its own good.
“The Runout” is another standout track, but overall, this band exists to give goth-rock fans something else to listen to. We can always use more.
