You wanted it darker? You got it. Post-punk masters of sinister synths, Tones on Tail, recently announced a reunion for Cruel World 2024 so we’re dipping into their 1984 LP Pop for the occasion. Plus, Cat Power and Iggy Pop cover Marianne Faithfull’s “Working Class Hero” for what sounds like a very cool collection.
