Hidden Persuaders - Elegies and Curses

Review by T.A. Noonan

Hidden Persuaders' album Elegies and Curses is a haunting and captivating offering that showcases the band's unique blend of experimental electronica and post-punk influences. The album opens with the eerie "The Specter," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its brooding vocals and ominous synths.

Tracks like "Siren Song" and "The Curse" are standout examples of the band's ability to create a sense of unease through their use of dissonant melodies and unconventional song structures. The album also features a number of instrumental tracks, such as "Elegy for the Lost" and "The Hidden," which allow the band's intricate arrangements to take center stage.

Throughout the album, the band's lyrics touch on themes of loss, regret, and the darker aspects of the human psyche. The vocals are often delivered in a haunting whisper, adding to the overall sense of unease that permeates the record.
