London indie label Glass Modern Records bring us, Icon, the new album from The Venus Fly Trap. The nine tracks have a nice retro post-punk and synthpop vibe, recalling artists like The Buggles and Gary Numan melded with the likes of Public Image Ltd., but yet with a modern style and feel. The album unfolds with a unique sonic edge that gives it a raw industrial appeal that rises above the commonplace to inhabit an aural landscape all its own. This isn't music for the meek. This is an album for those that seek out adventure, that shed sameness for quality artistic experiences, that prefer Soho to Tribeca, that walk under ladders and break mirrors.
