This Nation’s Saving Grace

Fall, “This Nation’s Saving Grace” (Beggar’s Banquet, 1985)
The “Brix era” begins in earnest here, and it’s as great as their earlier stuff, but different. Still the same sinuous, barreling urban ramble-billy with cubist power-chord propulsion, but the old gargoyle monochrome now splashed with odd color. It would be “pop” if the context wasn’t as looking-glass-landscape twisted as ever.
