Fetisch

Produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins, the Hamburg-based quintet's debut album is a striking document of dark, Teutonic post-punk. Driven by Fiona Sangster's tribal drumming and Anja Huwe's powerful, keening German vocals, the record established them as formidable, internationally recognized figures in the emerging 4AD label roster. It is widely considered a defining text of European darkwave and gothic rock.
