If you put Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, &amp; Bauhaus into a blender, the result would be Fracture. Repair. Repeat. This debut album so faithfully reproduces this specific sound that it isn&#8217;t entirely clear that they&#8217;ve added anything new to it.<\/p>\n<p>Vocals range from Ian Curtis of Joy Division to Andrew Eldritch of Sisters of Mercy. Doomy bass and clangy guitar accompany. &#8220;Terror (Is a State of Mind)&#8221; could be off a lost Sisters of Mercy EP, and Reflecting the Rain clearly took hefty cues from Joy Division&#8217;s &#8220;She&#8217;s Lost Control&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t get enough of dark post-punk circa 1978-1982, this album will fill that need.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Dinner, The Cure, Interpol<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 3 (Wait Now), 10 (Reflecting the Rain), 5 (Terror (Is a State of Mind)), 8 (111), 6 (High Line)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: none<br \/>\nWritten by The Czech on 08\/02\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you put Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division, &amp; Bauhaus into a blender, the result would be this faithfully retro goth\/horror punk album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":48087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5139,5138,5126],"class_list":["post-48086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-fracture-repair-repeat","tag-in-letter-form","tag-the-czech"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/in-letter-form_opt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
