WAX | Juju Gothic music is more than just this album, but it wouldn’t exist in the same way without it. While Siouxsie’s looks may have been the most recognizable aspect of their image, their music is what kept people hooked. They started in the 70s, but Siouxsie and the Banshees are a uniquely 80s band. The 80s was a time when subculture could thrive like never before. There was only a growing market for the jagged gothic post-punk they were offering. That style only became more entrenched in their sound on Juju. There’s not a song on here that’s not necessary. Everything builds this picture of dark gothic ambience that only Siouxsie’s vocals could embody. Her voice is so clearly ready for an album like this, and the sound that forms around her serves as a perfectly grimy base for her vocal lift. The final product is an album that was immensely ahead of its time with a sound that couldn’t be replicated for years. There’s truly nothing that has the certain luster this album does, and there’s something new you notice each time you listen. Gothic music is more than just this album, but it wouldn’t exist without it.

"Gothic music is more than just this album, but it wouldn’t exist without it." Our review of Juju by Siouxsie and the Banshees is out NOW! Check it:

What indie band/artist are you obsessed with right now? The smaller the better. For me I gotta go with Dollarbird!

Illusion YouTube video by Norma Tanega - Topic

Such a great artist. My favourite track of hers is ‘Illusion’…

Listening to records on-site is now active! So you can dig the crate and hear each record instantly

This is now live! (It was easier than I thought to implement)

Van Morrison looks good for his age but you cannot convince me these are the same person

Please tell me I’m not the only one who heard Dylan the first time they listened to this song

Some would say I’m listening to too much Sinatra recently. But “too much” and “Sinatra” are oxymorons so I think they’re wrong

Norma Tanega was way ahead of her time. She was the original indie folk star

Lamp is super underrated, really calming j-pop

That’s one of the next steps for sure, at the moment we’re still in a bit of a beta testing stage but over time there will be many more features.

It’s perfect for anyone, from experienced music fans to newcomers, there’s something for every one.

I’m so excited to announce our newest feature on WAX! The WAX Crate! It’s a digital record crate where you can dig to your hearts content. The records change every time you reload the page and there’s new ones added weekly. Happy digging!
