Trash Jugular by Erotic Secrets of Pompeii

Trash Jugular, the debut EP from Erotic Secrets of Pompeii, is a phantasmagorical trip into a weird, wild world where madness looms heavy like a terror bird in flight, a concealed world that winks just out of sight accessible only through these five songs. Five keys. Five incantations. Five crimes. Five curses…

Trash Jugular introduces ESOP's twisted amalgamation of angular art rock and transgressive post-punk, transmitted direct from the heart of the forbidden zone. Revelation after revelation pours forth from our unreliable narrator - singer Thomas Hawtin - swapping pleasantries for pitchforks, while the band fire on all cylinders, releasing an idiosyncratic, electroconvulsive torrent of noise as hooky as it is offbeat. Prepare for a surreal internal struggle to comprehend the self - furnished with red hot occult imagery and extraordinary visions before bedtime.

This is perhaps the only apocalyptic lounge music you’ll hear this - or any other - year!

Welcome to the weird. Welcome to the world of Erotic Secrets of Pompeii.
