It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special!
It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness. Onyx Tomb
Living For Nothing finds Horror Vacui in their best form. Songwriting and production here is even better than the excellent New Wave of Fear album and the intricate guitar work makes this their darkest offering so far. Top notch Post-Punk/Deathrock!
My blessings. Elis Alex
The French group Catalogue excel at the classic sound of ’70s post-punk, with razor-sharp guitars and stern, dead-eyed vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 5, 2023
I like the subtle way in which the tracks connect to the album cover, making this resting maiden the center point — calm in the midst of storm. (Just my interpretation maybe but the cover gives extra depth to the music... a softer undertone). The image reminds me of ‘Annunciation’ by Dante G. Rossetti used in ‘Adrenaline’ music video.
‘Smoke and Mirrors’ puts me at peace with big disappointments — a bittersweet musical potion.
