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.”
