The Asphodells - Ruled By Passion Destroyed By Lust

Review by Matthew Los

The Asphodells' album, Ruled By Passion Destroyed By Lust, is a mesmerizing and haunting work of art. The album is a blend of electronic and psychedelic sounds, with a touch of rock and roll. The duo behind the Asphodells, Andrew Weatherall and Timothy J. Fairplay, have created an album that is both experimental and accessible, and it's sure to captivate fans of all genres.

The album opens with the track "Sunflowers," a slow-burning, hypnotic tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the Asphodells take listeners on a journey through a range of moods and sounds. "Never There" is a driving, pulsing track that will get your heart racing, while "We Are the Axis" is a dreamy and ethereal song that will transport you to another world.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Late Flowering Lust," a dark and brooding tune that showcases Weatherall's signature production style. The track is layered with eerie synths and distorted vocals, creating a sense of unease and foreboding.
