SIOUXSIE レコード& CD

Review: Siouxsie Sioux is easily one of the most iconic musical artists of the 20th Century. By the time Mantaray arrived, circa 2007, she'd been in the game for more than 30 years, a career that erupted as the first sparks began to ignite the fires of punk, and one that still continues to this day. Like many with such longevity, her various projects, from The Banshees to The Creatures, grew increasingly artistic over the years. In many ways, this - her first solo album under Siouxsie, or Siouxsie Sioux - represented a move back towards more mainstream fare, albeit that's comparatively speaking and important to make clear we mean mainstream for Sioux. Nevertheless, as was acknowledged at the time, this is closer to pop than anything else, but still comes with the trappings of alternative, from dark twisted balladry to uptempo wildness.
