lurid tales of wrecking and repose

  • lurid talesI'll tell you about who these characters are in a minute. But first, “Lurid Tales…” is brilliant.

    What a huge sound. Big breakers of broken chords... huge, ripping silences. God, I'm hooked.

    Really, I cannot emphasise this enough, “Lurid Tales…’” is a huge, majestic achievement. It's mature, gothic, simple, complex. And I'll be listening to this not just for weeks, but for years.

    “Lurid Tales…” is both not at all what I expected Melbourne’s Michael Plater to be involved in, and exactly what I expect from him. And no, that's not a contradiction.
