Sam Rosenthal - Before the Buildings Fell (1986)
Ethereal darkwave. Lush swaths of interwoven, textured synths, mournful violins, and dramatic, at times theatrical vocals. Is your cheese-o-meter going to twitch? Sure. But, if I may, I'd encourage you to ease back on your need for disaffected coolness, and simply appreciate the purity of this band's dedication to their explorations of love, heartbreak, self-hate, and mortality. Plus, the synths are super rad.
Track listing:
1. These Fleeting Moments
2. A Chaos of Desire
3. Pandora's Box
4. Tear Love from My Mind
5. The Hypocrite Is Me
6. Beneath the Icy Floe
7. We Watch Our Sad-Eyed Angel Fall
8. One Last Breath
9. One of These Reminders
10. How Can You Forget Love?
11. Chains of Color
12. Could I Stay the Honest One?

DeleteOh trust me, I tend to go pretty nuts with the spoopy stuff around this time of year
ReplyDelete"the synths are super rad"
ReplyDeleteExactly my counter-argument when my description of this band's beauty falls on "Meh" ears.
Because they fucking are.
I think this is their best or top 3 album. Really soul crushing material.
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent one is "Ashes in the Brittle Air". I never understood his preference for Adobe Garamond Bold Italic, though... The oldstyle drawings are much nicer, smaller x height.
ReplyDeleteI can't help asking you....could you re~up this one? Tis dead and October compels me ;)
