Grand Hotel Paradox

First press 2014.
Dark, wiry post-punk with a hypnotic pulse and just the right amount of sneer. Angular guitars slash through moody basslines while deadpan vocals hover somewhere between menace and melancholy. It’s tense, minimal, and dripping with that gloomy Northern charm that makes you want to dance and sulk at the same time. One of those debuts that sounds like it’s been watching you from across the room all night. FFO: Dry Cleaning, The Murder Capital, Preoccupations, Wire, Protomartyr, and anyone who thinks a chorus hits harder when it’s shouted like an existential crisis.
