Peterloo Massacre - Peterloo Massacre
From the first strains of the first track “Accident” on Peterloo Massacre’s self-titled debut album, I thought that this was a typical mix of ambient and electro-pop albeit a very good one. It wasn’t until the second track that the cracked but sensuous voice of KiN and the orchestral electronics of Paul Green really got to me. Add on bass, drums and KiN’s own sparse guitar work and you have a delicious mix of rock, electronica, and slightly dark trip-hop. Equal bits of Radiohead, Lamb, and Portishead mix with the unusual voice and electronic backing. I especially like KiN’s soulful meanderings on “Giving Feelings” and “Warmed Body” is a cinematic sauna of sounds. Highly recommended.
The album is available in MP320kbps MP3 from the Headphonica netlabel.
