6th album by Glasgow based darkwave/post-punk duo. Depressive noisy synths, minimal drum machines and haunting female vocals. Like hearing COCTEAU TWINS playing THE CURE’s “Pornography” album during a claustrophobic lock-down session! “Persona Normal” is an album that surprised many by its more direct, rough and aggressive sound while the band’s previous work sounded a bit more ethereal, ambient pop or even romantic.
And that’s exactly what makes this Glasgow based duo sound so unique and different. They each time dare reinventing their sound, experimenting here more with vocals, giving them a more de- tached and plaintive tone nicely fitting the more abrasive sound design of this album and its depressive resonating noisy synths, minimal drum machines and haunting female vocals.
“Persona Normal" is an album that channels difficult emotions and explores them in real depth. “It is a record about transformation and growth, accepting losses and coming to terms with the loss of innocence… It deals with detachment, dissociation, what it means to be human, political issues and about strong, irrational cults”, explain Paula Borges and Jonathan Skinner.
