The Time Of The Assassins: Awake In Slumberland

Dark stuf form Australia. Post punk trio The Time Of The Assassins traveled to the States to lay down their album Awake In Slumberland at Electrical Audio in Chicago. They got Steve Albini to handling the production and mixing. No wonder it still sounds LOUD when you turn the volume down. The Time Of The Assassins are not afraid to take the listener on an extensive tour, The Return runs for nearly 16 minutes and Mad A manages to hold your full attention for 8 minutes plus.

Awake In Slumberland will be picked up by those who are into the Sisters of Mercy in their Floodlands days and the latter day output by Siouxsie. They are on tour in the States right now. Wear black.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.
