Manifesto

A sleek pivot from art-rock experimentation into polished new wave. Half jagged post-punk energy, half smooth disco-inflected sophistication for the urban night.

The record where Roxy Music traded their glitter for silk and hit the disco without losing their art-school edge.

A sophisticated blend of nocturnal restlessness and polished romanticism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The slow, tension-building bass intro of the title track that explodes into a jagged, rhythmic manifesto.

The transition from the frantic energy of 'Trash' into the smooth, radio-ready glide of 'Angel Eyes'.

The haunting, atmospheric saxophone wail that drifts through the closing minutes of 'Spin Me Round'.
