After their fantastic first full-length outing "Surfeit Of Gemütlich", which dwelled in dark Speakeasy bars and sleazy Cabarets, and which I never tire of calling a wonderful contemporary companion piece to Bauhaus's classic sophomore album "Mask", they are back with their magnificent followup "Battle/Choice/Luxe". Leaning heavier into the Deathrock territory and venturing even deeper into avantgardistic and more minimalist terrain, that sweet noirish sax-sound is still very present - making for a well-rounded listen. Much like the cover artwork suggests, the decadent tendencies of yesteryear are now starting to decay and have come to haunt us, a notion underscored by more dissonant compositions. Delivering an exhillerating, politically-charged listen, Battle/Choice/Luxe is another triumph by one of the most promising projects on the Deathrock/Post-Punk/Avantgarde horizon right now.
