The Gift of Tears by Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus (Review)
One of the most unique bands in the world.
Incredible. What can I say? It’s Celtic, it’s folky. It’s experimental. It’s tribal-percussive. It has beautiful child-like female vocals harmonized with male vocals. Spoken words. Madrigals. Gregorian chants. Insane distorted guitar. Samples of people speaking Russian, French and German.
A very sophisticated CD of music that is certainly experimental, keeping in tradition with the principles of some of the early industrial artists. One of the most unique bands in the world. Influences include Dead Can Dance and the films of Luis Bunuel and Andrei Tarkovsky.
