I always considered Shriekback as the 80's Underworld. What a wonderful piece of night music by a painfully underrated band

  • Can't agree with you more that they were/are painfully underrated. Just so you know, B is working on a new Shriek album as we speak. Spread the word.

  • well...this is the problem in loving an obscure underrated band. You have no one to spread the word to :-)

  • Lost my virginity to this song..

  • Beautiful song

  • @lizilizi1 I think the reason that they're still obscure is that they're so eclectic, and I think they're happy with it that way. The go from Shriekback crash-landing on a KC song to the the aggressive and militaristic Nemesis to experimental music like Glory Bumps. It's sometimes hard to figure out who Shriekback are. Now, if you're like me, that's a fun challenge, but most people don't want to spend the time. They want a playlist that's all vaguely the same and which doesn't challenge.

  • I read somewhere that this song is about a couple committing suicide together. Hence, "the blade is sharp and fine, it could just slit us open," and, "only say the word and I will pour myself like wine."

  • @paroketh ... do you mean to "get" the meaning??? Whats your spin on it, may I ask? I always thought its about the Fragility of... Life...

  • @clayguy33 yeah, well said, and that sure tells us the state of the mind of most boyzzzz

  • This is too beautiful ... truly

  • No,lizilizi1 it just means we're sttill avante garde. LOL

  • I love this album. I'm teaching a younger generation how good it is

  • A band I loved is still obscure after 20 years?! Really don't understand that. I guess it means I don't have to hand in my hipster card just yet.
