Goth’s not dead, at least not in Leeds – the international centre for all things gloomy and the home to The Ivories. As befits a band who’s singer used to run a club called Release The Bats and front an outfit called The Holy Terror, this isn’t the cheeriest of stuff. Instead, it visits the darker corners of the Banshees and the Bad Seeds. B-side ‘Disappointment’ is actually the better track, upping the tempo to a psychobilly howl, but this is an impressive debut all round.
