Bridging the dark space between goth and post-punk, TP are sinister and sparse, but strangely a lot of fun. The semi-tribal drumming works extremely well with the jerky vocals and jagged guitars, and on some songs (like “Peaceable Kingdom”), the combination is actually upbeat and infectious.

At first I found the vocals annoyingly pretentious, but the strange mix of Robert Smith and Johnny Rotten (Pil-era) grew on me. You don’t hear much goth like this anymore – this isn’t supposed to scare you or make you dance, but it’s cool and fun and a welcome change.
