Dark Continent

by Wall of Voodoo

Dark Continent cover art

Wall of Voodoo established their remarkably idiosyncratic 'Spaghetti Western synth-pop' style on their deeply anxious debut album. 'Dark Continent' relies on incredibly rigid drum machines, twangy Ennio Morricone-inspired guitar lines, and Stan Ridgway’s wonderfully deadpan, quirky vocals to construct a dark, playfully humorous depiction of modern alienation.
