Morgan Ywain Evans this is the best album. that is all. Favorite track: Against The Gates.

Robin Smith Great starting track to the debut album and there's plenty more to enjoy! Favorite track: The Great Sun.

Wren Shaw Listening to this for the first time now and loving it. I'm only half way through and I cant wait to play it again. Dark, raw, evocative, it begs to be listened too over and over, each time hearing something different. Thanks VOWWS

about

"VOWWS, an Australian/Iranian duo, have channeled their inner Numan through their premiere of the Nippon Oni Karaoke video for their song—the pulsing incantation “The Great Sun”.

The two halves of this industrial rock chimera met while studying music composition at The University of Western Sydney in Australia, and have begun to develop a cult following. Their forthcoming LP produced by Kevin McMahon will be released this summer via Cleopatra Records"

Track Name: THE GREAT SUN: I've a way to go
but I don't mind

He said he's gonna be waiting
counting time

I swear I'm starting over
you could be anyone
I'm sure I made you up
cause I'm just so overdone

I'm headed for The Great Sun

I haven't found a place I won't go
to fight the feeling that I am on my own

So when it's almost over
act like it's just begun
We're gonna get back to ourselves
we'll head for The Great Sun

I'm headed for The Great Sun
Track Name: STRANGER: You're still on my mind
so let's go back some time

We were so brand new
I was scared to talk to you

You can call me a stranger
been all over this town
Seems what I came for
got away somehow

We had schoolyard fights
so let's go back some time

Took me days to find you
now I'm gonna go south
Seems time's rewinding
makes me younger somehow

I liked this album at first listen. Then I struggled with the suspicion that it was all style over substance. I no longer care. SEDUCTIVE and BROODING. I dance into the void with an erection. knxpwr

This album is so beautiful and dark, an excellent merging of post-punk with '80s style dark rock. Think Tears for Fears meets Birthday Party. It is WONDERFUL last_vinyl_before_doomsday
