Perverted by Language

by The Fall

Perverted by Language cover art

Introducing Brix Smith to the lineup, 'Perverted by Language' finds The Fall refining their abrasive post-punk sound without losing an ounce of their signature, repetitive weirdness. Mark E. Smith’s highly abstract, incredibly cryptic punk poetry is snarled over grating, dissonant guitar lines and relentless, driving drum beats. The album is a brilliantly sarcastic, raw, and slightly more melodic evolution of their idiosyncratic aesthetic.
