EROTIC SECRETS OF POMPEII – SINGLE REVIEW

Erotic Secrets of Pompeii – The End of Love
(Deaf Ending Records)

Release Date: Out Now

Moody Bristol outfit Erotic Secrets of Pompeii are definitely one of my favourite things about 2020 and this last release of the year certainly cements that feeling. ‘The End of Love’ blends so many different influences and genres that it’s hard to pin down but, like a jet-black slippery eel, it must be tamed. There is the Nick Cave-esque vocal performance, the theatrical arrangement, the overall vibe of the National, Grinderman and IDLES doing some sort of collaboration in the early hours of the morning and the sheer stylishness of a song that is kept firmly inline by a bassline that grumbles like a gruff Tarantino voice over. Take a bow, gentlemen.
