Despite my iffy misgivings (great tautology there, Mr.D.) I just had to buy The Stranglers’ new album, “
Norfolk Coast”. One of the clipped plaudits on the jewel case (allegedly) from something called “Uncut” says “Their best album in years”. Considering it’s their first in eight years, Uncut are really on the ball.
I blogged elsewhere about a recent Stranglers gig and my dismay at the aggravating gyrations of the current front-man, Baz Warne, but without the visual distraction, he does have a decent voice, worthy of the band’s lead vocalist.
The album is a tad too short, imho, at a fraction over 40 minutes, but is well worth a run out if you’re into the darker side of music.
I’ve mixed and matched the lyrics from “Sanfte Kuss” for today’s lyric. You’ll have to buy (or blag) the album to hear the English translation.
