Faith saw the Cure continuing in the gloomy vein of 1980’s Seventeen Seconds, which would conclude with the band’s next album, Pornography.  Much of Faith was written in the studio. At least two songs on the album, “All Cats Are Grey” and “The Drowning Man”, were inspired by the Gormenghast novels of Mervyn Peake. Faith was the first album by the Cure to feature six-string bass guitar; “All Cats Are Grey” features Smith on keyboards and piano, with no guitar at all. The front cover, designed by former and future member Porl Thompson, is a picture of Bolton Priory in the village of Bolton Abbey in the fog.

The instrumental piece “Carnage Visors” (an antonym for rose-coloured spectacles; originally available only on the long-play cassette release) is the soundtrack to Carnage Visors, a short film by Ric Gallup, Simon Gallup’s brother, that was screened at the beginning of shows in place of a support band on the 1981 Picture Tour, and featured animation of several dolls in different positions and stances. The film has since disappeared, and only Smith, Lol Tolhurst and Simon Gallup own copies of it, though during a televised interview in the mid-1980s, the host of the program surprised the band by playing a clip of the film on set.

Despite not being successful at the time, the album has received retrospective praise. Pitchfork said that EVOL ” was where the seeds of greatness were sown”, and placed the album 31st on their Top 100 Albums of the 1980s list, alongside Sonic Youth’s next two albums, Sister and Daydream Nation, which ranked 14th and first, respectively.

The album cover features a picture of model/actress Lung Leg, a still taken from Submit to Me. Leg had previously appeared in the “Death Valley ’69” music video. The back cover shows a black-and-white picture of the band in a heart-shaped frame. The album’s 10 songs are listed in a different order than the actual track listing. The members’ names are listed on the back cover as well, although no instruments are assigned for them. It reads “guitars, vocals, drums”, with “bass” hidden beneath the photograph of the band. The insert features the lyrics to the songs and the A-side depicts Thurston Moore, with eyes drawn on his hands, holding them up to his face. This photograph was later used for the cover of the “Starpower” single. The other side contains pictures from horror movies Friday the 13th Part 2 and Children of the Corn, with a blacked-out image of two ladies in the upper right corner.

The 4AD CD release also features six of the seven tracks from the band’s 1987 EP The Fat Skier. (The seventh track was not deemed essential for CD release, as it was a re-issue of “Soul Soldier” from the band’s debut album, followed by an ambient field recording of the band talking in a park.) The Sire release did not feature these six songs, and therefore these songs have never been released on CD in the USA.

Garlands is the only album with original bassist Will Heggie. Gordon Sharp of Cindytalk provided backup vocals on “Dear Heart”, “Hearsay Please”, and “Hazel”.

Cat People is a 1942 horror film produced by Val Lewton and directed by Jacques Tourneur. DeWitt Bodeen wrote the original screenplay, which was based on Val Lewton’s short story The Bagheeta, published in 1930. The film stars Simone Simon, Kent Smith, Jane Randolph and Tom Conway. In 1993, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

Cat People tells the story of a young Serbian woman, Irena, who believes herself to be a descendant of a race of people who turn into cats when sexually aroused or deeply angered.

The album was recorded at Southern Studios in London between October 1984 and October 1985 and was produced by Penny Rimbaud of Crass and engineered by Mel Jefferson. The album was more complex in comparison to its predecessor The Eye, with greater use of electronic noise and distorted samples and keyboards.

Again this is an incredible album by the iconic band who express themselves in an experimental way, even though the album has heavy punk rock roots it delves much further than your typical punk record, it is by all sense of the word unique <3

Azealia Banks (born May 31, 1991) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actress. Raised in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York City, Banks began releasing music through Myspace in 2008, eventually being signed to XL Recordings at age 17. After releasing her debut single “212”, she secured a recording contract with Interscope and Polydor Records, and later released her first extended play 1991 (2012). Banks’ debut studio album, Broke with Expensive Taste, experienced several delays since its initial announcement before being released in 2014. In 2016, she released the mixtape Slay-Z. Her second studio album is Fantasea II: The Second Wave. Banks’ outspoken views and controversial social media presence have been the subject of media attention throughout her career… she rules!

House Tornado is an album by the alternative rock band Throwing Muses. Produced by Gary Smith and engineered by Paul Kolderie, it was recorded at Fort Apache Studios in Cambridge, MA. The album was released in 1988 internationally on the 4AD label, except in the United States, where it was released by Sire Records. Sire used a different album cover for its release, as the label was putting a strong promotional push behind the band, and label executives favoured a picture of the band over the collage featured on the 4AD release. <3

Paris Is Burning is the 1990 film that chronicles the New York’s drag scene in the 1980s, focusing on balls, voguing and the ambitions and dreams of those who gave the era its warmth and vitality. Directed by Jennie Livingston and filmed in the mid-to-late 1980s, it chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Some critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the “Golden Age” of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. <3

Although the album is commonly referred to as Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps), in keeping with the song title, and the album title as written on the front and back covers of the LP is Scary Monsters . . . . . and Super Creeps, the album is identified simply as Scary Monsters on the LP spine and disc label.

According to co-producer Tony Visconti, David Bowie’s method on Scary Monsters was somewhat less experimental and more concerned with achieving a commercially viable sound than had been the case with his recent releases; to that end the composer spent more time on his own developing lyrics and melodies before recording, rather than improvising music in the studio and making up words at the last minute. Aside from one cover, Tom Verlaine’s “Kingdom Come”, all tracks would be credited to Bowie alone, unlike the ‘Berlin Trilogy’ where there was an increasing amount of input from his collaborators.

Among those collaborators, Brian Eno was no longer present on Scary Monsters, but Chuck Hammer added multiple textural layers deploying guitar synth and, following his absence from Lodger, Robert Fripp returned with the distinctive guitar sound he had earlier lent to “Heroes”. Bruce Springsteen’s pianist Roy Bittan was back for his first Bowie album since Station to Station five years earlier, while the Who’s Pete Townshend guested on “Because You’re Young”. This would be the fifth and last Bowie album featuring the rhythm section of Dennis Davis and George Murray, which had been together since Station to Station.

The album is a masterpiece and like his other records is distinctly bowie. <3

The two most successful periods for the band were during the late 1960s British blues boom, when they were led by guitarist Peter Green and achieved a UK number one with “Albatross”; and from 1975 to 1987, as a more pop-oriented act, featuring Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

The band has achieved much throughout their career including world wide success on commercial radio. Although the band was labelled as a pop act, Fleetwood Mac still retain their authentic rock and roll sound and attitude. The band has a rich and layered sound that simply cannot be replicated or reinvented and they will go down in music history as one of the great bands who ever lived. <3

Sonic Youth was an American rock band based in New York City, formed in 1981. Founding members Thurston Moore (guitar, vocals), Kim Gordon (bass guitar, vocals, guitar) and Lee Ranaldo (guitar, vocals) remained together for the entire history of the band, while Steve Shelley (drums) followed a series of short-term drummers in 1985, and rounded out the core line-up.

Sonic Youth emerged from the experimental no wave art and music scene in New York before evolving into a more conventional rock band and becoming the most prominent of the American noise rock groups. Sonic Youth have been praised for having “redefined what rock guitar could do”, using a wide variety of unorthodox guitar tunings and preparing guitars with objects like drum sticks and screwdrivers to alter the instruments’ timbre. The band is considered to be a pivotal influence on the alternative and indie rock movements. <3

Born in North Carolina, the sixth child of a preacher, Nina Simone aspired to be a concert pianist. With the help of a few supporters in her hometown of Tryon, North Carolina, she enrolled in the Juilliard School of Music in New York.

Nina then applied for a scholarship to study at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she was denied despite a well-received audition. Nina became fully convinced this rejection had been entirely due to racial discrimination.

The sixth studio album by Nina Simone is Wild Is The Wind (1964). The album was compiled from several recordings that were left over from sessions (in 1964 and 1965) for previous Philips albums. <3

Lorde was raised in the suburbs of Auckland and demonstrated a knack for public performance at an early age. At age 12 she was signed to a development contract with the Universal Music Group after an agent received footage of her singing at a middle-school talent show. A lifelong fascination with royalty and aristocracy inspired her stage name, although she appended an e to the end, as she felt that “Lord” was too masculine.

This week we will be featuring her latest album Melodrama. Powered by the lead single “Green Light,” Lorde’s sophomore album, Melodrama (2017), was greeted with an overwhelmingly positive critical reception. Melodrama’s 11 songs explored themes of youth and womanhood with a sound that drew on influences ranging from modern electronic dance music to retro Europop to the soaring vocals of early Kate Bush. <3

Influenced by Los Angeles’ punk rock scene, the band garnered critical acclaim for their frenetic debut album, Pretty on the Inside(1991), produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth. The album features distorted and alternating guitar compositions, screaming vocals,  a style which the band would later distance themselves from, opting for a less abrasive sound on their subsequent releases. Love’s lyrics on the album are often narrative, graphic, and abstract, detailing issues of violence, self-realisation, and womanhood. The record was dedicated to Rob Ritter of the Los Angeles punk rock acts Bags and The Gun Club. <3
