Live review - 30 July 2003 - Huddersfield daily examiner


:: Burnst :: Lapsus Linguae ::
30 July 2003 / The Attic / Manchester
By Dave Himelfield
Huddersfield daily examiner

Resembling something between a Misfits tribute band and a Bauhaus fan convention it’s fitting to find Lapsus Linguae churn out some disturbingly tangled sounds. From hideously malformed BC Rich guitars and a distorted piano, epic and macabre but astonishingly upbeat and explosive sounds belch forth. Likening them to anything in particular would be doomed to inaccuracy and above all, injustice. But one imagines purgatory sounds something like this – jagged, steep and plagued by unpleasant weather. But it is a place where you can slip into the storm and enjoy the ride for at least a few hours.
