You Smile When It Hurts LP

The latest from Martin Dupont feels like putting on a well-worn pair of boots; comfortable and effortlessly cool. "You Smile When It Hurts" twines stark synths with haunting vocals, reminiscent of Joy Division's brooding cool, yet undeniably infused with their own fresh energy. This isn't merely nostalgia; the album fuses vintage elements with current production to create a chilling yet upbeat sound. Tracks like "Blue Dragonfly" and "Walking Alone" prove that after thirty years, their knack for conjuring intensity is sharper than ever.
