Decades

UK-based post-punk/minimal synth band Decades released only a mysterious pair of 7” singles in the early 1980s on the equally unknown Emperor label. All tracks feature glacial drum machine rhythms (most likely DR-55), deep bass, eerie synth lines, and hypnotically stark guitar. The vocals float on top, adding a sense of dread to an already gloomy cocktail. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but an amazing listen that calls The Cure’s incredible 'Carnage Visors' soundtrack to mind. [SOURCE: SYSTEMS OF ROMANCE]
