EMILY KINSKIS DEAD: DANCING ON THE BATTLEFIELD

get the full EP here: Imagine yourself back in the 80s, at LIMELIGHT, the Gothic disco in London housed in a converted Presbyterian church. TEMPLE OF LOVE by THE SISTERS OF MERCY has just blasted from the speakers, preceded by LOVE LIKE BLOOD by KILLING JOKE and SHADOWPLAY by JOY DIVISION. And you wonder, what could possibly come next? Then a song plays that you’ve never heard before, one you couldn’t have heard because it’s from the future, specifically from 2024, yet it sounds as if it belongs right there and then. You stay on the dance floor, feeling the song, dancing, sensing a sadness because it can’t be real. Afterwards, you approach the DJ, though it’s always a bit awkward, and ask him what track that was. He shows you a vinyl record labeled: EMILY KINSKI’S DEAD: DANCING ON THE BATTLEFIELD. There’s no internet to search for the band, but even if there were, you wouldn’t find them.
