Pugnello

A perfect introduction to the lyrical obscurity in this album with Dara Kiely throwing plenty of idioms our way, amongst a build up of atmospheric noise rock starting with the abrasive guitar before drummer Adam Faulkner hops in and out with rapid-paced drumming. The building start to the album setting the tone of what’s to come.

This songs electro-industrial start straight after The Angelus was intensely satisfying to hear. The repetition of the electronic clashes in the song combined with again another mind-field of lyrics makes for not the most playlist fitting song but that’s common throughout the album and not a bad thing as the album definitley sounds better as a piece instead of picking out the songs.

This continuous tempo of electronic hits combined with drunken James Murphy sounding vocals makes for an interesting song, less combination of instruments in this however. A song too that directed a lot of influence for the rest of the record - you can definitely hear plenty of repetitive electronic bashing throughout the album.
