Wait a minute. Didn’t we say the previous album, Something to Drink
& Smoke, was supposed to be the last DIVISION S album?
Looks like we
were wrong. And we couldn’t be happier to be.
Continuing in
their tried and tested, impossible to pin down style, DIVISION S take us
on another weird, warped, trippy and inebriated journey to strange
places. Call it neo-cabaret, call it neofolk, call it alternative:
descriptors elude the essence of DIVISION S.
"Something to Fuck and Lose" combines suave lounge music, naïve and preppy old pop, light
psychedelia and utter, mind-boggling weirdness into a whole that sounds
like sleazy lounge bars and that feeling of being totally, completely
drunk. Lust fuelled by alcohol, fumbling bodies engaged in passionate,
animal fucking. And next morning, only booze and cum stains to
tragically remind of what was lost after last night’s inebriated trysts.
This is an imaginary trip back in time to the swingin’ 60’s, full of
obnoxiously hip people, cool suits and sexy skirts, fancy drinks, chic
night clubs, and the slick entertainers in them. But with a weird,
slightly disturbing and nightmarish vibe to it, an oppressive darkness
just beyond perception. And it’s perfect.
Hypnotic in its
repetitive, jerking style which sounds just a bit off, covered under a
shimmer as of old, deteriorating cassette tape and worn-out cheap vinyl
records, Something To Fuck & To Lose is a perfect follow-up to
"Something to Drink & Smoke". It’s just as weird, just as
indescribable, and just as charming, but despite all of its
similarities, somehow entirely different also. A bit more coherent and
focused, with a bit more retro crooner aesthetic to it – like a
fall-down-drunk Nick Cave singing old pop hits in a cheap karaoke bar –
"Something to Fuck and Lose" manages to be both more accessible and
every bit as strange and odd.
