No wonder that construction cranes can only fall in love within their family of machine. Size makes lonely. The fact that these New Puritans make an “Industrial Love Song” from this is one of the most beautiful ideas in the music year. The idea of having the female read role of Caroline Polachek are just as good. The brothers Jack and George Barnett have their listener so easy: never made it inside. As a thesis of New Puritan, they played tribal postpunk, Darkwave classics and concept-avant-garde.
“Industrial Love Song” also occupies an exception on the new album Crooked Wing because these New Puritans are directly. On other pieces, the meaning disappears behind spiritual backdrops. In “Bells” they consist of all kinds of bells, clarinets and collabsed voices; The Jack Barnett vocals only rise after a few minutes. He then sounds like Mark Hollis, whose solo album is a useful point of reference anyway to classify this beautiful part of Crooked Wing.
Another consists of industrial wave with digital timpani and sheet metal beats. “A Season in Hell” brings Johann Sebastian Bach with test Dept. Together, “Wild Fields” is the soundtrack to the point in the creepy when the body appears. In the title piece, Thesis New Puritan brings the two parts together – and now sound like Talk Talk, who together with Dead Can Dance visit a trade fair in an English country church.
