I know that trends cycle every couple of decades, but I am still bewildered at the droves of kids rehashing the dreary synth driven new wave music that served as the soundtrack for most of my adolescence. Quite pleased, but confused nonetheless. POPULATION might be a little weak in the vocals department, but it gives them an inadvertent edginess that polished goth bands lack. The guitars are perfect in an early SISTERS way while the tempo gives off a perfectly pompous P.I.L. vibe - I'm sold, I just wish they had included contact information so they could sell you a copy of your very own...

BLOODYMINDED played a show with Population last month. Nice to see them featured on your blog. I think the tape is sold out, but they had a CDr version for sale at the show.

Holy crap, this is great stuff. Really hits the spot. And yes, the tape is sold out, which is a shame.

finally got a chance to listen to this out of the backlog of downloads, and... MORE PLEASE. thoroughly pleased by the resurgence of this aspect of this particular genre. for those like me who like their goth to have cajones, the years since the early 90s have been bleak.
