Spectres' third album, Utopia is an eight-song offering of gloomy and compelling gothic post-punk. In recent years, the Vancouver five-piece has developed a more nuanced sound. Singer Brian Gustavson pushes his vocals into higher ranges, adding a more dynamic cast to the material; the complex guitar lines and melodies are more shimmering and atmospheric; Nathan Szilagyi's driving bass provides a firm underpinning. On tracks like \"Strange Weather\" - originally intended to be the title of their last LP - Mitch Allen's drumming chops shine through brilliantly. Put bluntly, the LP is a magical post-punk masterpiece: while the group's earliest work had a gritty Warsaw\/Crisis feel, Utopia is a lush and shimmering document of doomy greatness, firmly in the ballpark of The Sound or early 4AD output. Discover one of the crowning albums of the current post-punk and death rock revival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 New Buildings \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Strange Weather \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Vertigo \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Daniel \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Figures in the Sand \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Revisions \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Crosses and Wreathes \u003cbr\u003e1.8 16 Years\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Spectres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32291421192263,"sku":"30873810","price":20.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3328247.jpg?v=1747772547","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/spectres-utopia","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
