Night Thoughts - The Complaint // Demo
Operation: Ecstatic Ep recovery.
Going to Cardiff is an adventure in itself: whether it's a good one depends on many things. But once you're there, the places to encounter weird, strange and crazy situations are multiple. It's a good thing that the music speaks for itself: in the possibility of dealing with different scenes, the gothic one is superbly represented by Night Thoughts, a sum of members coming from two different bands and able to capture the old scribe.
What one hears is an Ep of five tracks that take the listener to hear bass played like Steve Severin (Bitter Beach), the dance of fallen leaves from the trees in autumn with a Postpunk/Coldwave mode (Owl in Daylight) and miles of nostalgic 80s but shaken by a willingness to work on dry and melancholic melodies (Cold World Glacing and Ash), to delight the palate with Century Eyes that, between typical Cure overhangs and petals of The Chameleons, make this work something to necessarily have.
