Cutthroat

The band's fourth album, 'Cutthroat', marks a sonic evolution, with producer John Congleton steering them toward a cleaner, more precise, yet still brash and confrontational post-punk sound. Lyrically, the album explores themes of conflict, corruption, cowardice, and paradox, influenced by the works of Oscar Wilde. While expanding their sonic palette with elements of Latin rock and synth-pop, the album received praise for its creative bravery and energetic performance, solidifying it as a significant, though at times polarizing, entry in their discography.
