The Sound: Jeopardy

THIS COULD BE a starkly calculated cash in on the seamier, dreamier trends and tendencies of these our favourite post-punk days. Certainly its approach to pressure, culture, circumstance is simplistic, and The Sound noise wavers in the shadows of the sounds of both ends of the Mersey, a passionate echo of the Bunnymen (with teardrop keyboards), a constant process of diving and rising, what is now a comfortable combination of interests (Iggy, Doors, solipsism, human rights, ghastly ends, ghosts, love and more).
