His Name Is Alive - Can't Go Wrong Without You
As a record label, 4AD is home to some of my all time favourite music. One of my favourite bands from their roster are His Name Is Alive, the much ignored and under-appreciated Michigan band with a magical repertoire. There first few albums are just sublime, equal parts space-rock goth, avant-garde cut and paste and indie pop, I can't get enough of them. Their first LP Livonia with all its pretence and veneer often finds its way onto my headphones come the end of a long day, and 1993's Mouth By Mouth is often plundered for a couple of choice tracks.
One of those tracks is the one featured today, Can't Go Wrong Without You. It features one of the most sculpted main guitar parts I know, the ominous sound just creates a landscape that feels like a 20s surrealist film. So, up until tonight it had only ever existed in my mind as an imagined landscape. Having a root around YouTube, I spotted the band and this strange video that sort of makes perfect sense and is kind of like what I'd always imagined any video for the song would look like.
