Reviews In Brief
You wake up 40 years ago and turn on your local college radio station and Deeper's song Esoteric is blaring. Your first thought would be, "hey a new Cure song was just released", not realizing that Esoteric came out in 2020 not 1980. Deeper possesses a minimalist, 80s, metallic sound that encompasses early Cure, New Order, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and a plethora of new wave MTV bands. Simple, metronome bass lines, layer effect guitars, rat-a-tat drums and vocals spit out rather than sung. It's a total hipster party where the only one's at this party deserve to be there and they know it. Side one (or first half for those not vinyl savvy) is strongest but Auto-Pain doesn't wane by much. Tease out hair, put on your favorite black outfit and get nostalgic.
