Released

Initially starting out life as post-punk themed podcast, the debut album from The Cure/Siouxsie and the Banshees drummers Lol Tolhurst and Budgie saw them and U2/R.E.M. producer Jacknife Lee pull together an impressive roll call of guests including Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie, U2’s The Edge and James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem for a deliciously gothic tour of LA’s nocturnal nooks and crannies. Gillespie goes apocalyptic firebrand on sweeping opener “This Is What It Is (To Be Free),” The Edge adds chopped up guitar textures to Neu!-like “Train With No Station” while Murphy throws in a delightfully theatrical turn on the title track’s zombie Adam And The Ants stampede.
