Alex Fergusson - 2006 - The Castle

Genre: Folk, Pop, Psych, Post Punk
Label: Eis & Licht (DE)

Here's the follower of the previous post. Alex Fergusson with his latest record. Very different styles are here. Opens with a sinister classic piece followed by the great post punk track "Dark Angel" (this seems to be the connection to his former group Alternative TV). Then "Ways of Pleasure" and "Hope" sounds like a pure Velvet Underground Jam, "Odyssey" is an instrumental with backward sounds in vein of his Psychic TV times. And beween these remarkable songs pretty nice folk songs - sometimes with female vocals.

It's a bit strange that he release on these gothic/industrial labels, but that's maybe the connection - the music has nothing to do with that neo european attitudes and shit.
