BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB

Wrong Creatures

Five years on from Specter at the Feast, the eighth album from the trio brokers new sonic ground while staying true to their Gothic credentials. Producer Nick Launay (Pil,

Nick Cave,

Arcade Fire) is on hand to aid them and there’s sombre swagger and symphonic garage rock.

Then there’s the opulence of

Haunt and clang of metallic dread on Question of Faith. Everything comes wreathed in artful gloom, even on Circus Bazooko. A hard-wearing sort of heaven.
