Initially being rather underwhelmed by this album, it was after repeated listens that its innate character revealed itself to positively grasp my attention. In a true collaborative effort. "Alarm Agents" is primarily the merging of the apocalyptic folk of Death in June overlaid with Boyd Rice’s trademark acerbic intonations. With a couple of noisier industrial pieces thrown in for good measure and a repeated acoustic guitar melody & dialogue sample used a bridge between selected tracks, "Alarm Agents" ties together nicely. Whilst it could be said there are better releases from both, be it individually or under the guise of prior collaborations, however considering who the artists are a quality album is at least assured. Dedicated
fans are likely to have tracked this down already, but for those who haven’t,
at least the ‘Death in June & Boyd Rice’ title is a clear
and accurate advertisement of what you get. |
