Dead Wax Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Spain's Dead Wax present their new compilation A Matter Of Concepts, which features a worldwide selection of active underground artists. From post-punk to coldwave, to synth-pop to indie, the Barcelona based imprint believes that these tracks are instant classics - and we certainly concur. Highlights include: British band FEHM with the early '80s vibe of The Cure on "Last Breath", American post-punk Bootblacks on the seductive "Voices", right through to Canadian act The Whisper Game brooding boldly on "Loose Ties" and Dutch outfit Red Velvet Deception nailing that classic early '90s goth vibe so eloquently on "So Low".
