Black Cherry

A sharp pivot from pastoral folk to neon-drenched electro. Gritty analog synths meet breathy, provocative vocals in a dark urban landscape.

April 23, 2003 · Mute (2)

A high-tension blend of aggressive mechanical energy and vulnerable, breathy intimacy.

Moments Worth Listening For

The relentless, chugging industrial growl of the bassline on Train that feels like a locomotive.

The shift from aggressive synth-pop to the shimmering, weightless beauty of the title track's chorus.

The mechanical, Kraftwerk-inspired precision of the percussion on Strict Machine.
