The music is bass-driven, dark and moody, featuring the cold pulse of electronic drum machine rhythms while synths and guitar inhale and exhale in controlled synchronization. Restrained vocals fear to reveal the current of emotion beneath the audible. The lyrics refuse to allow you to sink below the surface of despair with no hope of a return to the light. Together, this is a darkness shining out of the gloom to burn the shadows from your soul. It has been said that while sounding like none of them, Replicas evokes an essence common to PiL’s ‘Second Edition,’ The Cure’s ‘Seventeen Seconds’ and Tones on Tail’s earliest releases.
