Un ep en formato de 12"

the most soulful and under-appreciated indie band of the 90s and 00s, comet gain return with a beautiful three track 12" in a poster sleeve. the recent 'city fallen' leaves album is an alientated urban soul classic and now new york cool label what's your rupture? have released this staggeringly good 12" single of new tracks. no-one makes misery such good company as david feck and 'beautiful despair' is one of his best, a mighty lo-fi rock'n'roll rhythm scaffolding words of deep melancholy. 'never die has neat melodies played with real soul and with the touch of the tyde about it. the b-side is given over to the seven-minute mainlighting 'mystery (finchley road)', like the velvets 'the gift' set in north london, narrated by jon slade and populated by characters sharing the names of the band. the clipped guitars and electronic rhythms become hypnotic as the forces of logic destroy the drifters heart.
