Era

4AD
Double Vinyl

Era collects nine songs from the '70s post-punk band In Camera along with demos, live recordings, and a five-song rehearsal tape. For enthusiasts of the goth/post-punk nexus, the collection offers a mastery of that moment's tone: echoing minor-key drones, a wailing singer with an unpretty voice, rhythms that evoke faltering inhuman mechanisms, words suggesting imminent disaster.
