XPROPAGANDA

Triumphant return for reconfigured 80s art-pop outfit.

Reuniting original Propaganda members Claudia Brücken and Susanne Freytag alongside producer Stephen is a compelling listen, sounding exactly like it could have followed their old group’s debut, From the synthesised detonation at the start of the album, the listener knows exactly what to expect. With its dispassionate voices, orchestral stabs and additional synthesised percussion entering at the halfway mark, six-minute opener captures all the urgency and thrill of the original Propaganda.
