In The Flat Field [LP]

Bauhaus's 1980 debut is the record that drew the blueprint for gothic rock. Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins pair raw post-punk drive with theatrical menace, from the snarling opener "Double Dare" to the dub-tinged paranoia of "The Spy in the Cab" and the slow-burning "Nerves." Abrasive, arty and still thrillingly strange, it topped the UK indie chart on release. This 4AD reissue presents the remastered album on a single vinyl LP.
