The peripheries, our homes. Far from acceptable centres of gravity. The Peripheries play nostalgia-free New Wave, influenced by the classic Goth mood of the early 1980s. Accessible tunes with a sprinkling of the alternative scene’s more experimental vibes: from the classic shoegaze of Cocteau Twins, the electro-dance of LCD Soundsystem and the aural assaults of Swans, the hygienic digital tones of The XX, and post-Soviet darkwave from bands like Molchat Doma, are all combined with hyper modern production.
