DAS VILLAIN
Long before 'alternative rock' captured (and mocked) the zeitgeists during the 1990's as an umbrella term for music that wasn't 'pop', band like The 'Cubes were part of the indie rock movement where their debut came out of leftfield for many. Moody music arrangements, subversive lyrics, and a little known vocalist (outside of Europe and native Iceland) named Bjork took the world by storm. Juxtaposed to their subsequent releases LTG is more post-punk in sound with quirky avant-pop sensibilities.
Favorite track: Birthday.
