Death In June

Death In June - But, What Ends When The Symbols Shatter? (1992)

Photobucket

This collection is WONDERFUL given you enjoy the sound. If you don't like the sound, the lack of general variety will absolutely repel you. It's folk noir/dark folk/whateveryouwishtocall it. Folk guitar, restrained (but effective) vocals, additions of keyboards, occasional trumpet (on 3 tracks), complete with dark and intellectually provoking lyrics.
