Boy Goeorge and dark Boy George (Marc Massive) meet, but don’t clash. Rather complementing each other quite nicely.
Wow, Boy George. I did not see that coming.
Yep, though it makes perfect sense. I’ve followed Marc and his group for years. Tell me this isn’t gothic clockwork boy george lol. And that was 10 years ago.
Their whole catolog since that album are some of my favorites. Earlier ones being more cover song centric and finding identity. But they found it with beautiful suicide. I hit that album hard. Church of the Malfunctioned too. I’m excited to see this new album.
Thanks for sharing, I’ve added them to one of my playlists.
Any time. They’re general a solid recommendation. Their politics aren’t overt, though with tracks like You Will Comply it’s pretty clear where they tend to be. That and the whole gender fluid appearance heh.
That and I’ve had And One’s Military Fashion Show stuck in my head for decades. So I always enjoy a good cover.
You will comply sounds a lot like trip hop. I think I like the cover more than the original.
Possibly? Honestly, I was always unclear whether or not trip hop was ever actually a thing. There was tricky, and then there were those that imitated him to minimal success for a short while. Sneaker pimps, Morechiba, etc. I honestly, solidly don’t know if there was much else outside of that or if there’s anyone else besides him still focusing on it?
Though that isn’t to say that there aren’t a few in the darkwave subcategory that go there and toy with the concepts every once in a while. Spellsword, Mareux, Moonvanpire, and Sidewalks and Skeletons. Although, as the title says on most of those. They are just the normal tracks slowed down a few percent. Not intentional compositions.
Massive Attack is another big trip-hop inspiration.
Massive was all over the place heh. Part of why they were great. Though tricky was with them for a bit. So it isn’t categorization without merit.
