Martin Dupont - Full Moons and Mouths

Cohost is dead, Bluesky feels miserable, and I'm ready to make my grand return to MUSIC POSTING. Here we go!! In my never-ending search for more good goth music, I have fallen into an obsession with 80s cold wave. Coldwave, like most genre classifications, is fairly loose - less a strict taxonomy, more a descriptor invented by music journalists to describe a particular music scene, a set of bands drawing from similar influences and influencing each other. Derived from post-punk and ostensibly a goth subgenre, it developed in Europe on the edges of the blast radius of the UK's goth explosion, with separate and largely disconnected scenes in France/Belgium and Poland. As such there's a fascinating fluidity and diversity to the sound, a willingness to experiment and dovetail with new wave, punk, minimal synth, and synthpop that give it a unique flavor of its own.

So far, I've largely been exploring French coldwave, and have only just started dipping my toes into the Polish scene. And of all the bands I've found, Martin Dupont is one of my favorites. Formed in Marseilles in 1980, they released three albums and a cassette (all with incredibly striking covers) and toured with Siouxsie and the Banshees before breaking up in 1988. Their excellent debut album, _Just Because..._, established a uniquely icy minimal synth sound with dueling masc/femme vocals. But their third album, _Hot Paradox_, is the masterpiece, fusing their cold wave sound with a dose of hot-blooded new wave energy and busier production, creating something exciting and uniquely danceable as a result.

The whole album is wonderful straight through, but album opener "Full Moon and Mouths" is a great indication of what you're in for - dark, foreboding, and fun as hell.

this song reminds me of a dream I had once. idk how to explain it.

[audiomoods]

I'm dreaming of a turquoise sea in which I floated and drowned I'm dreaming of a silent dream in which you spun me around I'd rather wear my life inside out

The time of the month is right To feel full moons and mouths She's pulling, she's pulling The force of her paleness is drowning me

Against the darkness I feel her liquid pulse Beating against the core of me

The alcohol content is right To feel full moons and mouths She's shaking, she's shaking She's moving on me like a flickering flame

Against the darkness I feel her liquid pulse Beating against the core of me Beating against the core of me

Pulling his life Pulling and pulling and pulling And pulling his life

The goldfish are swimming around To feel their water move They're spinning, they're spinning They're making me feel quite hypnotised

Outside the crickets Have stopped rubbing their legs Just for us to feel the night

Pulling his life Pulling and pulling and pulling And pulling his life
