Release Notes:
Let's clear the air right now: G-O-T-H. Sure, Revolver Modele's
crepuscular flame is too streamlined to allow for conventional
pigeonholing; nothing about the band bears the slightest trace of
fetish club or Renfest affiliations. The band passes on
contemporary genre frippery, instead looking to the foreshadowing
likes of Bauhaus, the Birthday Party, Banshees, and one or two
Peter Hook-related projects for inspiration--along with (night)
life itself. "Your legs are wrapped around my ribs/Can you feel my
heartbeat?" vocalist and guitarist Ehsan Alam croons on "The
Ache," his gloriously spooked baritone growing ever more insistent
as it orbits bassist Natasha Hasset's fluid hub. As usual, drummer
Jesse Winsell plays the straight man, while guitarist Mykel
Arnold's measured interjections lend muscle to Alam's probe before
resolving the track in a sustained torrent of speed-picked sparks.
Slower than much of the consistently frisky Discotheque Crypt, the
mid-tempo loper offers an easy peek into a realm where untrammeled
sensuality reigns in lieu of mundane poo. A little time, a little
money, and the band might well end up becoming rock's David Lynch.
