The poignant darkness within music can sometimes be thrillingly beautiful. The power within the shadows can transcend imagination, time, and space. Some listeners love depressing lyrics or themes while others may just love the dark image or style of the group. When The Jesus And Mary Chain sang “I’m happy when it rains…”, many listeners felt a connection to this psychological phenomenon. In essence, misery truly loves company. Music is a magical art form in which people can discover joy within sadness. Michael Allen, formerly of The Wolfgang Press and Rema Rema, explores this beautiful darkness in his new group, GENIUSER.
The Wolfgang Press was unlike any contemporary music group. They utilized multiple influences to create a magnificently unique sound that transcended categorization. Signed to 4AD, the band’s early albums (“Standing Up Straight” & “The Burden Of Mules”) were insanely bleak. Lead singer, Michael Allen sounded as if he was literally being dragged to hell. Allen’s deep baritone voice was an unlikely driver for any pop group. The wisdom that resonated thru the songs helped to create their exquisite music. Similar to Mark E. Smith, Allen’s performance was respected regardless if his voice. Eventually, the lyrics, the intelligence, the passion, and the music made listeners appreciate his inimitable vocal tone. His vocals became more tuned and soulful with every changing album. Influences of soul music slid into the “BirdWoodCage” LP. When their very successful “Queer” LP was released, the soul music was intertwined with electronic rhythms and Manchester rave culture. Their classic cover of “Mama Told Me Not Come” displayed their ironic, intelligent wit over thick grooves. Their clever topics and lyrics led to multiple interpretations and their music set them apart from the throwaway bands of that time period. Their final LP, “Funky Little Demons” was an overlooked masterpiece that displayed the Press honing their sound to an English Soul / Blues style. Excellent tracks like “People Say”, “Chains”, and “She’s So Soft” varied in styles, but were linked by the group’s cool passion. Years later, every album by The Wolfgang Press is completely unique and magnificently timeless. Like fine wines, Michael Allen’s music gets better with age.
