The Big Heat

by Stan Ridgway

The Big Heat cover art

The former Wall of Voodoo frontman’s solo debut is a highly eclectic, cinematic blend of icy synth-pop and spaghetti-western storytelling. Stan Ridgway's distinctive, narrative-driven vocal style weaves dark, mysterious tales of urban espionage and betrayal over complex, highly rhythmic electronic arrangements. 'The Big Heat' is a deeply nocturnal, idiosyncratic, and brilliantly constructed new wave classic.
