COUM / Lightning Bolt by Death In Vegas
Death In Vegas drops two live versions on the Drone label, sealing the end of the year with a ton of emotions.
Death in Vegas, a band now firmly planted in the pantheon of electronic cult acts such as Cabaret Voltaire, Chris & Cosey, and Nitzer Ebb, return with a new 12" featuring two live tracks, both recorded at EartH Theatre, London, June 2025.
On the A side is "COUM," laconic, sexy, born out of a recording session in Michigan for Black Acid, Richard Fearless' New York psyche project. Fearless always felt that COUM belonged to the Death in Vegas camp, and he released a reworked version on DIV's Trans Love Energies. Here, atmospheric, reversed synths drive the Linn drum beat, while new DIV collaborator Surgeon's Girl's ethereal synths float in and out, sealing the magic.
On the reverse, Death in Vegas summon the dead with a stunning ambient version of "Lightning Bolt," another song off "Trans-Love Energies," and one that catches Death in Vegas at their most fragile.
