COUM | LIGHTNING BOLT - LIVE VERSIONS

On the A side is COUM, a laconic, sexy, dark wave track born out of a recording session for Black Acid, Richard Fearless’ New York psyche project, at Keyclub recording studio in Michigan. Fearless always felt that it belonged to the Death in Vegas camp, and he released a reworked version on DIV’s Trans Love Energies. Here, atmospheric, reversed synths drive the Linn drum beat, while new DIV collaborator Surgeon’s Girl’s ethereal synths float in and out sealing the magic. On the reverse, Death in Vegas summon the dead with a stunning ambient version of Lightning Bolt, another song off Trans-Love Energies, and one that catches Death in Vegas at their most fragileWritten and produced by Richard Fearless.
