Back to Mine: Death in Vegas

Death in Vegas

A curated descent into the late-night record collection of Richard Fearless. Dusty country-rock, jagged post-punk, and soul-baring ballads for the quiet hours.

This installment of the Back to Mine series is a masterclass in mood curation, eschewing the typical club-adjacent selections for a deep dive into the record crates of Richard Fearless. It sounds like the internal monologue of a weary traveler, blending the sun-bleached melancholy of 1970s country-rock with the cold, skeletal structures of early post-punk. The album feels heavy with history, each track carrying a sense of lived-in grit and analog warmth that unifies wildly different eras and genres into a singular, nocturnal narrative.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from Gene Clark's cosmic country ache into the jagged, rhythmic tension of The Au Pairs
The moment Nina Simone’s Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair strips the room of all oxygen with its raw intimacy
Joy Division's Atmosphere closing the set, its icy synths feeling like a final, inevitable curtain call
