Creatures Of Love – Vakkula
Release date: 24th
September 2012 (free download)
Taken from the
forthcoming Boy Crimes EP, ‘Vakkula’ is the latest single from London trio
Creatures Of Love and it is quite an experience. Dark, menacing, tender,
fragile and just a little bit unnerving, ‘Vakkula’ does nothing to suggest that
Creatures Of Love are craving chart success or a guest spot on the Simon Cowell
roadshow. Reznor-esque beats and chilling stabs of synth introduce the song
before frontwoman Bonita’s soulful yet chilling vocals fill the sparse musical
landscape with something approaching defiance. Lyrically, this song feels like
the poetry of an over politicised goth with lines like “Feelings of nihlism leading them to something wrong. Death stew in a
chain of bones. invert their cross on followers homes” creating a sense of foreboding
without ever really suggesting why you should feel that way. Creatures Of Love
create bold music that will probably be more appreciated in later years but for
the time being if you’re looking for a darker shade of Massive Attack or some
post-apocalyptic industrial electronica then I’d recommend getting your hands
on a free download of this single and then shell out for the EP in October. It’ll
make the morning commute all the more interesting if you immerse yourself in
the music and get to your desk feeling like a cyborg sent from the future to
subvert the political norms of the early 21st century. Try it, you
might like it...
