Bring the Neon War Home

Bring The Neon War Home is the sound of Yellow Swans seeing clearly. The production is incredibly crisp and clean, and many of the movements are driven by prominent drum machine rhythms, which are an oddly concrete element for such an immaterial, abstract band. The mechanized percussion harnesses their drifting noise clouds, tethering the chaos into a dense, claustrophobic space, much like Ministry used to do. In fact, "Police Eternity," the dark, angry opener, is the kind of pummeling, goth-industrial hell-storm most Nine Inch Nails acolytes would die for.
