Tayne - Love - CD DIGIPAK

An exploration of love, desire, conflict and fear, Love is the new album from London-based Industrial Noise Pop triumvirate Tayne. Written during a period of dissociation, Tayne mastermind Matt Sutton documents his ideas of love as conflict, sacrifice and compromise, how emotional attachment leads to clashes and how the repercussions can ripple down through generations. What does love cost? How far are we willing to go to chase it? “There's definitely a defeated attitude in most of the songs” Matt says. “I was intimidated by intimacy, afraid of being vulnerable and putting myself out there.” Sound tracked by a raging hybrid of metal, industrial, shoegaze and pop, Love wrestles with the classic definition of the word, exploring how we navigate the clashes that emerge through its pursuit." Matt’s effeminate vocal melodies provide a stark counterpoint to the unremitting skull-rattling beats and waves of pulsating electronic noise that punctuate these ten tracks, creating a powerful hybrid which takes as many cues from the art pop of Lady Gaga as it does the sonic assault of Nine Inch Nails. Violent synths collide with alluring melodies that reflect the internal conflict at the heart of the record. “The contrast is far more interesting to me” Matt states. “I still love extreme metal and heavy bands but I think there's something a little bit more exciting when you're trying to create something that isn't what everyone else is doing.”
