Detroit glum rockers The Bodies Obtained are back with their third album 'I Cry When You Cry' . The mysterious electronic duo hark back to the 80s but not the same 80s that the likes of the Killers and the Gagas have resurrected. They take their inspiration from a darker, more bleak 80s. The 80s of the long overcoat, a time when serious bands stretched the musical boundaries.
They inhabit a world of Fad Gadget, of PIL, of Suicide but also a world of Pet Shop Boys ('Baby, It's Not A Sin' sounds like a sullen Pet Shop Boys on 33RPM) and Depeche Mode. A world of synths programmed to simultaneously engage your ear and destroy the very essence of what you thought was possible in the realm of experimental electronica. But it's not a clinically cold, mechanical world there is emotion and soul that adds humanity to the electronics.
