    Q: Why buy CDs? A: CDs sound better than vinyl!
    Let's face it, one of the great myths in the audio world is that vinyl sounds better than CDs. It’s just not true. Compared to vinyl, CDs are able to produce a wider dynamic range and more bass. Plus they don't crackle or skip (unless scratched).

about

For Simon Morris: His Name Means First And Last.

Following 'THE COLOSSALIST' and 'THE GREAT IMMUREMENT' and continuing the death-life commitment to their grave loss, VUKOVAR's final step in their obsessive memorial device to Simon Morris is 'THE BODY ABDICATOR'. With the last twitches of the NeuPopAct, the perpetually reorganizing group have collided and colluded to now present their 10th LP and final part of the Eternity Ends Here triptych; the most ambitious thing attempted by the group and the most wrapped in turmoil. Joined by Gea Philes, this is a metaphysical and esoteric wasteland disguised as a pop album.

OTHER VOICES RECORDS, a label to match the group’s ambition, bring out this third CD of the series of releases in collaboration with world renowned artist Andrzej Klimowski.

VUKOVAR formed in a crumbling placefiller of a town in 2014. They were always dying and reorganized after cease-to-exist in 2019. Effete artists pretending to be northern hardcases pretending to be uniform fetishists in iconoclast drag. "Do not trust us; we are fragile stars."

More occult than Gothic, the music on The Body Abdicator is filled with helpless and yet also hard-fought poetic romanticism: it’s as if Death In June and Coil had let synth-pop soul music into their hearts. Beautiful lyrics, cathedrals of light no less fall from the parchment. The language of the arcane, of Blake, Dante and countless other romantics and cult figures across time are summoned forth into a new age of anxiety.

From beginning to end, The Body Abdicator is a joy to listen to on Vukovar’s march for well-deserved wider recognition. One day, bands will cite them as a major influence and many will claim to have ‘been there at the beginning’.

With an open mind and their ears always alert to the new waves and with the techniques they find for themselves, they play no wave to post-punk with a very cool keen on what they call ‘deathpop’ music.

With excellent and thoughtful production “The Body Abdicator” is an album that you hear something new in every time you listen to it.
