The Membranes - Dark Matter/Dark Energy

Facts 2015 album from the post-punk legends. Fronted by the charismatic, Mohawk-topped singer John Robb, Membranes formed in the wake of Punk in Blackpool in 1977. Membranes made a huge impact on the post-punk scene of the 1980s, with John Robb also establishing himself as a music journalist of note. After Membranes folded, John returned to the stage with Sensurround and most notably Goldblade, before rekindling Membranes a few years ago. Dark Matter/Dark Energy is the first Membranes album for three decades, awash with their off-kilter mix of angular post-punk adventure, Krautrock-ish soundscapes and edginess.
