Cult With No Name – Adrenalin (Trakwerx)
“Adrenalin” is the fourth studio album from London duo, Cult With No Name (aka Erik Stein and Jon Boux). Its electronic backed tunes move through stark piano-led delicacies - “This Time (Or Any Other)”, “The Way You’re Looking At Me”, “Gone” – through the trip-hop, electro, washed-out balladry of “Adrenalin”, via the slow paced disco of “The All Dead Burlesque Show” and “Breathing”, before closing with the glitchy beats of “Make A List!” and “Generation That’s”. On the way through there are influences from Pet Shop Boys and David Sylvian worn on their sleeves and a slight smattering of psychedelia, such as the phase-heavy “7”, and “Youlogy” having a comfortable numbness about it.
The overall subtlety (extending even to the pink and silver foil embossed sleeve) tends to distract from the moments of sexual desire and transgressive lyrics but the desolate and deep blue “-7” more than makes up for that.
