SOPHIE HUTCHINGS - Wide Asleep LP cold wave albeit - rather than simply

albeit - rather than simply overwhelm the listener with misanthropy and melodrama

the drum machine virtuosity reminds me of a Big Black

Includes d/l code with 4 bonus tracks

To the sheer brutality or depraved psychedelics of some tracks respond some pop-like vocal harmonies of some other ones

It makes me think of listening to HONEY BANE and also the first GANG OF FOUR 45 all at once

Its been given some nice new artwork to commemorate the occasion, but the musics not changed. Hutchings contemporary chamber compositions show off a strong influence of Max Richter and Angle David Guillou.
