With their second album, Gitane Demone Quartet delves deeper into the sonic world of its creation, continuing to pull away the layers of artifice and pretense to get at the raw truth within.

From the tragedy of 'Douglas Street' to the haunting 'Bells for Barbara', the lush beauty of 'Amaranthene' to the cosmic experimentation of 'Retrospekt' (an arrangement of a classic Sun Ra piece), "Substrata Stip" shows the band maturing and reaching into newer, more complicated realms while losing none of its visceral impact.

Powerful Darkwave / post-punk featuring Rikk Agnew (Adolescents, Christian Death), Paul Roessler (Screamers, 45 Grave), Deb Venom (A Bleeding Sky) and, as ever, led by the breathtaking Gitane Demone (CHRISTIAN DEATH).

Comes in a 6-panel ecopak.
