180 gram double vinyl housed in gatefold sleeve. Highly recommended. Available again after being out of print for 18 years. In 2001 LOST SOUNDS released their sophomore double album, following up Memphis Is Dead with a maturing sound that encapsulates the bands efforts to create a record that touched on many genres including Black Metal & New Wave (hence the album title). JAY REATARD, ALICJA TROUT, RICH CROOK, and JONAS GARLAND created what is commonly known as one of the most important synthpunk records in the 2000s. After many years of Black Wave being out of print, and the always fantastic Empty Records called it quits, FDH Records began discussions to reissue this release. A band that can pull off that weird deja-vu illusion with their songs commands awe, and you gotta stop doubting that a band could come up with catchy intensity this original. A band like Lost Sounds could have, and does. Recommended if you like Ausmuteants and of course, Jay Reatard, also Sweet Knives.
