Rust Red September

Moving away from the stark, improvised minimalism of their earlier catalog, the British duo embraced lush synthesizers and relatively structured pop songcraft on this deeply melancholic release. 'Rust Red September' is defined by Martyn Bates's highly emotive, wailing vocal style, floating above atmospheric, autumnal instrumentation and delicate acoustic guitars. The recording stands as a remarkably poignant, transitional masterclass in 1980s indie pop and ethereal wave.
