We are watching season 3 of #SortOf… more people needs to watch this show:
They approach family relations, diverse characters, religion, coming out, growing up, #transitioning and more through the lense of a #NonBinary Pakistani in Toronto.
Tonight's #listening from the vault: Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim
It's late '80s goth metal named after mythical half-angel "giants" from the bible, so how bad could it be? It's actually maybe a little better than I remember (which is to say, it is good) as I think I thought it was a little dense at the time and not quite my vibe (yes, I listened to this when it was new and so was I), but I did spin it from time to time.
Production is not great and holds it back at times but is never truly egregious. The best tracks have almost a krautrock thing going at times, which is always welcome in my book.
The last few tracks lean into a more minimal goth aesthetic which is also pretty great, and the actual last track ties it all together in a really cool track that makes a great finale and is also arguably the one "don't miss" track from this band.
