ALTER DE FEY: Under a Waxing Moon Vinyl LP

San Francisco gave us the Summer of Love and then, eventually, gave us something far more interesting.

Altar De Fey are part of a lineage that runs through the fog and the noir of that city's darker corners, deathrock and gothic rock with deep roots in the post-punk tradition. Under a Waxing Moon is the kind of record that fits naturally alongside your Christian Death collection or your well-worn copy of Kommunity FK, music that understands atmosphere as architecture. The guitars have that cold, chiming quality that made early 80s goth records feel like transmissions from somewhere genuinely other. This isn't revival for revival's sake, it's a band fluent in the language and writing new sentences with it. Essential for anyone whose dark alternative fashion choices are matched by equally serious record shelves.

Format: Vinyl LP. US import.

Fans of: Christian Death, Kommunity FK, Cinema Strange, Pompeii Ashes.
