Stephen Oliver discovers an album of electronic sounds and loops which isn’t for the faint-hearted
Bella Union
Released: 16.06.23
Creep Show are back with a second album full of electronic sounds and loops. It is a journey that took me right back to those early experimental electronic albums. This release has more in common with The League Unlimited Orchestra’s Love And Dancing album than anything I have heard this century.
Going old school with the construction of the album to a time before Nine Inch Nails popularised industrial electronics gives the album a freshness and a sense of hope. The use of old Rolands and Moogs topped up with some effects on the vocals created something that would be as much at home both at Eurovision or on an 80s station. Crazy and fun, just not for the faint-hearted.
