Prolapse - "Black Death Ambulance" (mp3)

More evil shoegaze from 1994, twisting back toward early goth. There was arguably not much more point to Prolapse than the fact than nobody could understand much of what vocalist "Scottish Mick" Derrick said. With the urgency stirred up by the rest of the band, though, that was enough; he gives every impression of veering between threatening and warning, equally desperate in both modes, while Linda Steelyard intones "Skin a lampshade / Head a paperweight" as though rehearsing to work at a department store.

[From Pointless Walks To Dismal Places, their first album and most irritating to find.]
