Album Review
Xmal Deutschland's second full-length album is a creative high point, a Teutonic marriage of Siouxsie & the Banshees' inviting Goth-pop and the majestic sonic spaces of the Cocteau Twins. Less offputtingly bleak than the quartet's earlier records, but without the unfortunate candy coating of the albums that followed, these 11 songs are precariously balanced between neo-psychedelic pop in the traditional 4AD style — the opening "Mondlicht" would not sound out of place on a This Mortal Coil album — and the more aggressive, artsy sound of their first EPs. The former is clearly winning; "Incubus Succubus II," a much glossier remake of the song that first garnered U.K. attention for the group, features a less tortured (but still German-language) vocal from Anja Huwe over a smooth, throbbing pulse that trades in the spiky scrappiness of the original for a clean, but not antiseptic thrust. The clash of styles actually works quite well, giving Tocsin a palpable creative tension that adds a frisson of intensity to what might otherwise be just another collection of Goth-pop tunes.
Customer Reviews
They were the female Wolfgang Press on 4AD
This band is very amazing and very punk. They have the same dark charm as The Wolfgang Press also on 4AD but they are influanced more by punk and dark goth. They make it beautiful. Kleenex an Lilliput had a sound that was original and so do these ladies. Worth a look from an alternative view of the past by a lesser known seminal band. Mondlich, Reigen, Tag fur Tag, Xmas in Australia, and Incubus Succubus are all lively great songs. The slow songs are not my favorite but they are still good as a full LP. Tag fur Tag is a bit Bow wow wow on downers. I just love it. Why didn't they do better?
viva?
Where is matador?
SOOOOOO Excited!
Not that I have been hardcore searching for this necessarily....BUT, they randomly popped into my head and was so excited to actually find them on here! I can now upgrade from a copy of a copy of a copy on a cassette tape to some high-quality downloaded Xmal Deutschland! Nice! Will be bringing back some highschool memories for me (as they were one of my FAVES back then)!!! Psyched to blast the hell out of it in the car......
