Washington State’s Datura will remind any 80’s head of bands like Joy Division (a little New Order too) and The Cure (list any other great 80’s post-punk band here), but their wall of sound guitar and relentless pounding/chugging rhythm section really make them stand out on their own. Whether or not you classify them “post-punk” or “post-post-punk” or “dark wave” or “neu wave” or my new favorite (NOT) “post-punk revival” they smash the mark on their new album Arcano Chemical.
Check out “Phantasma” and “Dare You” below for a taste, they will hook you for sure. Arcano Chemical is available now all forms of media and digitally via Sell The Heart Records, I highly recommend it.
