Tones On Tail - Burning Skies 12''

Tones on Tail was a Post-Punk side project by Bauhaus guitarist Daniel Ash, composed of him with friend Glenn Campling and later Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins. The group took Bauhaus' gloom and doom and warped it into what they called "doom-and-dance-pop", fusing several different styles and sounds together into a unique take on Post-Punk and New Wave Music. The Burning Skies 12” careens from languid, whispered rock to jumpy light funk to spare atmospheric soundtracks, and offers very little song writing content, merely scanty ideas in service of largely pointless studio fiddling.

Again, this wouldn’t be the first entry point into Tones On Tail that I would recommend, although it’s place is reserved due to it being the entry point for Kevin Haskins and the band becoming a trio it is still very much experimental in its appearance.
