Album Notes & Community Reviews

Deeply entrenched in the Cold War anxiety of the era, 'The Succession' utilizes stark sequencer lines and claustrophobic production to create a chilling synthpop experience. Harrow's grim sonic architecture serves as an essential, albeit overlooked, artifact of the early industrial-pop crossover.
