A crazy duo from the 70s New York punk scene, Suicide unites the deranged spirits of Alan Vega on vocals and Martin Rev on synths. It’s the debut eponymous album from these cerebral dandys that invents electronic rockabilly, a scream squeezed into a synthetic straitjacket. A fan of fifties rock’n’roll, Vega sings like a radioactive Gene Vincent, and Rev complements this with repetitive and apocalyptic sounds. The powerful atmosphere created by this debut released in December 1977 is a work of urban musical madness. But behind all this madness, Suicide offer a truly original vision, illustrated on the ballad Cheree or the terrifying Ghost Rider. It’s an album that would make a beautiful soundtrack for the end of the world… © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
