Ideology and aesthetics turn heavily with the centuries, creating new open spaces of doubt, fear, and imagination meant for artists to fill. Artists facing these open horizons must bear the curse of reshaping [sub]culture, in ways they don't always control.
At this juncture, A Spectre Is Haunting Europe has assumed the unenviable task of putting art and catharsis into a new dark music. The price? Unabashed honesty, unsettling tawdriness, high drama, and the blackest humour imaginable.
"Stiff with lyrical disdain and resentment, stark whimsy and a form of melting angst over the songs that leak or pump out, often catching you off guard. It's a distinctively bracing, thick indie sound, full of purpose and morose tangles" - Mick Mercer
"Intelligible and beautiful" - Punk Planet
"the unlikely champions of modern indie come in pure black vinyl, swathed in a pitch black sleeve" - Seth Styles.
