Brash, poetic, and romantically obtuse, even from the grave Alan Vega is as challenging as he is charming

Loud And Quiet
This is incredibly strong material, and seemingly only the start – Sacred Bones promise further unreleased work to come. On Mutator, Vega’s jet-black sensibility thrills from beyond the grave
