The Horrors - Sea Within a Sea

[link] Abstract, atmospheric alt rock.  The imagery in this video reminds me a bit of some early Simple Minds album covers.  Sort of celebrates the ruin and emptiness of international style architecture and its aesthetic trappings. The sound harks back to early 80s postpunk. The break has some great experimental guitar noises that really expand the impact of the song, after which some Kraftwerk influence comes in.
