For many centuries, the best examples of “gothic
rock” were the thousands upon thousands of bricks that filled out
the medieval castles and cathedrals of Europe. Then in 1980, the
English band Bauhaus released their first album, In the Flat
Field, effectively laying a cornerstone of a new movement in
music and art. In this episode of the Rush Strutter Zep
Magik podcast, we peer through this dark prism of post-punk
pomp, discussing the influences that gave rise to Bauhaus and
intricacies of their efforts on this particular work. Arianne
shares memories of life as a grade-school goth kid, Kevin offers
tips on the art of building a proper Spotify station, and Mike
melts down yet again while discussing cable news and the decline of
meaningful discussion.
