Virginia Wing – Ghostly thin sounds that resonate around the essences…
We had a fresh listen:
‘World Contact’ has a fine groove with paper-knife vocals that switchblade around the jagged spears of sound — bursting like sprouting tendrils from the deep rhythms.
‘Marnie’ has ghostly thin sounds that resonate around the essences.
The sombre voice of Richards wakes up soon to become chirped — but even then the hypnosis begins again.
And all the while an insistent beat keeps things bumping chuggily along.
‘Gold Thread’is like finding an amorphous mud-creature stuck in the plug-hole.
He is fly-blown and warty. Unnatural and full of worms… Half horrific half mechanical.
This is the musical union of two parallel worlds … one technological and one magical.
Psychedelic pop-noir with holy-dead images frequently rising from a blackened stare. Manufactured with more than enough trickery and cunning … this will make you think twice.
