Icy lyrics

First things first!
TISFWO has reached over 1000 views! Thank you everyone!
Secondly, I discovered something I never would have expected today!

Visage are releasing a new album on the twentieth of May, Hearts and Knives, their fourth album and the first since 1984. That's some gap! I would never have expected this not only because it's been 29 years but because, some years ago, I saw Steve Strange on T.V. He didn't seem to be in a fit state to be there at the time. I'm quite surprised he came back to music!
What's difficult about posting this up here is that I want to say "It reminds me of..." but all the bands I want to list are going to be post '84 so really...It should be the other way around, shouldn't it?
Sultry, dead-pan vocals, icy lyrics, wavering guitar, some nice punchy drums and of course, keyboards all come together to make a track that really sounds like it came out of the 80s. It's a lot more up-beat and certainly has more guitar than their biggest hit, Fade to Grey. I dig this a lot! Check it out!
That cover is great too, but I have a thing for masks.
Soundtrack to: The reopening of the Blitz club.
