Immigrant

by Gene Loves Jezebel

Featuring the distinctively wailing, flamboyant dual vocals of identical twin brothers Jay and Michael Aston, this sophomore album found the Welsh group refining their chaotic post-punk roots. 'Immigrant' introduces slightly more polished, rhythmic new wave hooks and prominent, swirling basslines while maintaining a heavily theatrical, gothic-tinged atmosphere. The highly energetic, accessible sound facilitated their initial breakthrough onto American college radio playlists.
