Everything about the Barbiana Complex is instantly appealing, if you’re coming at music from the punky end of the spectrum. There’s a raw, slightly grimy vibe to the post-punk musicianship, while vocalist Babara Solsky has a vibe that would appeal to fans of Siouxsie. Of the three tracks they submitted, “Genie” is a moody little beast that manages to build tension to a level that borders on uncomfortable (in a good way). “Little White Scar” dials up the sinister, throwing in elements of 45 Grave. The songs aren’t massively memorable, but then they don’t appear to be designed for sing-along fun. This is wonderfully moody mood music.
