Fade To Sepia - Situation Hopeless But Not Serious (album)
Combining the spit and anger of old school 70’s punk with a rumbling edge of angsty electro movers, this release is roaming for a fight and woe betide anyone that stands in its way. Fade to Sepia are an edgy three-piece who aspire to the dark and murky sounds of Joy Division.
Opener ‘Word Association’ wears its heart on its sleeve and even proclaims a desire to return to 1979, which is a few years later than Sandi Thom wanted to get to but a million miles away.
The anger on this record positively bubbles through and the bass intro to ‘Leave the memories’ stands apart as a musical highlight in a collection that is strong but lacking in many truly defining moments. Its an okay record, but for all the slick guitar lines, theres not much to grab all the attention.
