Siouxsie and the Banshees “Juju”
Siouxsie and the Banshees “Juju” released 40 years ago today, June 6th, 1981. A darkly gorgeous gothic post punk masterpiece, it’s considered a landmark release for the genres. The Banshees fourth LP, Juju went to #7 in the UK. They released two singles: “Spellbound” (#22 UK) and “Arabian Knights” (#32 UK). Also notable is “Halloween,” which sees a lot of airtime in October in this house. It’s really one of the best Halloween songs ever: danceable, edgy, dark and catchy. Actually, that sums up the entire album, including the great tracks like “Into the Light,” “Sin In My Heart” and “Head Cut.”
Daily (maybe) pulls from the vault: 33-1/3, 45, 78, old, older, classic, new, good, bad. Subjective. Autobiographical. Occasionally putting a record up for sale.
