still going down the proverbial musical rabbit hole on Qobuz, I came across this rather wonderful album...
Previously described as comparable to Berlin Bowie(Low, Heroes, Lodger), and Pornography-era Cure, I also hear aspects of Japan and Comsat Angels. Well worth a listen.

Format: https://open.qobuz.com/album/g57n2p83ddg1a
Country: US

I would also recommend the EP by them 'Riding the Way Back'

Well if that's the case, I might try and give that a listen as that kind of vibe (amongst a lot of other things as you might have gathered) suits my palate.Originally Posted by AJSki2fly

Now, after searching for this and giving it a listen, I can see why you've said some of the groups as a comparison; I'd say a little more like a David Sylvian or Rain Tree Crow vibe but, their is a Japan vibe (from the Tin Drum era) in there. Nevertheless, I do quite like it !!! Good recommendation !!
