No. 2
Kiss the Anus of a Black Cat -
Weltuntergangsstimmung
If I had to name one band that I discovered in 2012 that I have gone on to absolutely love, it's these guys. This was my first introduction to them and I just cannot stop listening to it. I love the synth-tinged post-punk vibe of the album - with a Gothic edge - and I think they go really well with the lyrical content. What impresses me about them overall is that this album was a massive shift from their usual Neo-Folk/Alt-Country sound, but you wouldn't know.
I am not known as a guy who takes more than a few listens to judge albums - and that wasn't the case here - but I have noticed some people really just didn't get all that into this record. I would advise people to keep coming back, unless they totally hated it, because it will click.
