Half Alive, by Suicide

Half Alive

by Suicide

supported by

AtlantaDrifter It's still a unique sound, even as you can hear the faint (tho sometimes loud) echos of the band in both mainstream and alt music

The staccato, and often strained, vocals add a certain raggedy cool to it.

The instrumentation feels so straightforward, yet interesting. The basics lay it down, but the synths really add a fun texture (the album also feels playful) Favorite track: All Night Long.

soniccatz I got this when it first came out on Roir Cassettes back in the 80's and somewhere along the line I lost it so I am very excited about this new purchase on vinyl with a three extra tracks very cool! Wondering about the T shirt still haven't received it?

about

“Lester Bangs liner notes place Suicide in its proper historical context: A document of a force of nature – the filthy loud subway station heart of NYC. Suicide pioneered everything from synth-pop to industrial disco – low rent electronic angst-fest. Vega runs rough shod over the whirring blast of Rev’s homemade synth.” – Rolling Stone Record Guide
