The godfathers of goth.
-
We Say...
The English quartet Bauhaus became the godfathers of goth, a common point of reference for anybody with an all-black wardrobe. They set the tone for their career with their first single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead": ten minutes of dissonant droning, scraping and tapping that coalesced into a song so spooky you can feel the wind from a vampire's wings. But their grand theatricality was only part of a fully realized aesthetic. They repaid their debt to early-'70s glam with covers like a lunging version of T. Rex's "Telegram Sam," included here, and beneath the bluster and menace of their noise and Peter Murphy's dramatic bellow was a sense of groove that made those pale, dark-clad bodies race onto smoky dance floors.
