Ausweis

Ausweis Pas Demain / Un Monde Nouveau 7″

A dark pop single with semi-industrial overtones. The A-side is upbeat and more poppish, yet still has keyboard gloom. The flip is the real moody one, not as fun as the other side.

Ausweis Victimes 12″

This French band has a knack for hard-edged post-punk with a good sense of energy, even if they uncharacteristically lag behind in the melodic sense. “Gom Jabbar” is a slow, tasteful dub, though the other three songs are more spirited.
