The Blunderbuss Corps

From 1984, their first full album following the seminal Trash & Trinkets E.P. which saw them a little less angry, a little less chaotic but just as anthemic and otherworldly as ever.

An incredible era for music; post-punk, goth, coldwave & darkwave. The first distant echoes of what would become dream-pop, shoegaze and even post-rock begin right here.

From Melody Maker: “It’s not just the beautiful darkness to lose yourself in. It’s not just the romance of it or that it sounds like it’s echoing off fog shrouded cliffs on some lost island in the North Atlantic. It’s the intimacy. These songs will crawl inside you, make a nest and stay forever as long as you feed them what they need.”

“Your heart and soul, of course.”
