Lovetune for Vacuum

Soap&Skin

Shattering piano melodies and raw, shuddering vocals. A stark collision of neoclassical elegance and industrial collapse recorded in a state of total intimacy.

March 13, 2009

A cold, uncompromising exploration of grief that finds a terrifying beauty in its own fragility.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from delicate piano to the distorted, industrial throb of the electronic percussion on Spiracle.
The way the vocals on Mr. Gaunt Pt 1000 sound like they are being whispered directly into your ear, bypassing any sense of distance.
The slow, agonizing build of the funeral march rhythm that anchors the closing track, Brother of Sleep.
