Long overdue re-release fot his seminal
Naevus album, originally recorded in 2000 and released the year after. 'Soil' was the album that consolidated the eclectic approach of its predecessor 'Truffles of Love'. Neo-folk and new-wave styles are combined to give the most pessimistic and heavily stylised release to be found in the
Naevus catalogue.
Layered acoustic guitars and bass that sounds like reverberating shipping rope are blended with stentorian vocals and thunderous drum machine to create claustrophobic and relentless slabs of sound. This expanded edition restores the artwork that was originally intended for the album and adds no less than six bonus tracks, including the original version of the longstanding live favourite 'No, Remember' and cover versions of songs by
Laibach and
Kirlian Camera.
Unavailable for years, Old Europa Cafe presents the definitive edition of this classic Naevus album, coming in elegant digipak with 12 pages lyrics booklet.
