Death In Vegas : Hands Around My Throat
Welcome to the dark side with our single of the week...
Whatever the reservations about Death In Vegas’ new album ‘Scorpio Rising’, it would be foolish to query the serene, satanic majesty of ‘Hands Around My Throat’, the stand-out track on that record.
This is Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes’ collaboration with vocalist Nicola Kuperus of peerless Detroit electro duo Adult.. She’s the Cruella Deville of electroclash and lends the single’s mescalin-curdled flange and spiky motorik groove a suitably paranoid and claustrophobic tint, singing listlessly about designer asphyxiation: "Your hands around my throat/Ask me to let go". Further, finer variations of this auto-erotic narcotic noir classic are provided by Adult. themselves, and Percy X. The video features a French chick twitching in a chair. Welcome to the dark side.
