Against Nature

One day in mid-2015, Marc Almond made an unexpected announcement: a Kickstarter to fund a musical passion project, adapting the late 19th century literary classic A Rebours by Joris-Karl Huysmans with the help of two frequent collaborators, poet Jeremy Reed and musician Othon. The funds were raised and Against Nature was the result, adding to his number of strikingly esoteric collaborations in the 2010s in particular, the trio turning the story of a nobleman pursuing ever more depraved passions into a theatrical cabaret of damnation and exultance.
