Discover - Gene Loves Jezebel (1986)

This band had been a notable goth rock band for the previous few years, getting mentioned with Sisters Of Mercy and Siouxsie And The Banshees.

This is their move into more pop-rock territory, by working in more U2-sounding arena rock.

It’s a good effort that’s kind of lost to history. The whole thing is crisply recorded doesn’t suffer too much from the reverb worship of the 80s studio. It’s definitely of its time, but it’s worth listening.
