Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deeply obscure but brilliant artifact of the Dutch post-punk scene, 'The Icecold Waters of Egocentric Calculation' plunges into angular, atmospheric gothic rock. The album is characterized by its cold, driving basslines and ominous synthesizer washes, perfectly capturing the era's subterranean deathrock aesthetic[cite: 1].
