I don't know why but this is not at all what I thought Death in June sounded like. I had imagined them more gothic/industrial for some reason. I like the piano and openness of the track. But the vocals are just ok to me. It actually reminds me quite a bit of "Mad World" by Gary Jules, which I love. Anyway, not a bad track but I don't really have a desire to play it again or check out the album it's from. 6/10

bob.

to be honest this is a new direction for Death In June and nothing from the rest of their catalogue sound like the new album.....their early stuff has a more post punk/experimental/gothic industrial feel...and the majority of their stuff is more simplistic folk music.....as a fan of them i'm still digesting the new album....it's quite a change

Ah, Blonde Redhead. I usually love them, but I haven't heard this album, or this song before. I didn't know what to make of it, didn't do much for me right away. So I listened to it two more times and I must say that it's possibly a grower. Nice, warm melody that sometimes drags a bit. I would've liked it more if it were more direct. 6,5/10

Magik Markers - 'Taste'

I'm playing this again now. I could see myself thinking it drags if it were my first time hearing it. However, I think it works really well in the context of the album, It's kind of a break between two more aggressive songs I think. This is why I love albums - context can bring out the best in a song. To me it stands out as one of the best on the album despite its slow pace that might otherwise turn me off.

Yeah, you're absolutely right, the context of the album is very important and that's how I usually listen to songs. Like I said, I can see this song as a grower and I believe you that it works better as a part of the album. Maybe I should check out the whole thing.
