Anthology by The Vanishing Point
Gothic Rock, Post-Punk
One doesn't find many Bandcamp albums that bother to focus on their compositions lime professionals. Simple, yet talented, Anthology is a debut album of amazing post-punk power. The singer slightly changes his voice depending on what fits the song, and sounds perfect on most tracks. The drummer times his compositions very well. The guitars maintain an ambient gothic feel so original that they could have made a name for themselves in the 70's. Statue is one of the best tracks. The album has a hypnotic fell a vaguely like The Doors. But they maintain a similar meaning in their music, akin to Joy Division. Yet, its always fast like punk. Even though you may have a tiny interest in punk, I recommend it.
