Mute Drivers: Vampire Man
Mute Drivers’ second album, Waiting For World War Three, was my first and only foray into their music. Looking back at this album, released in 1989, I’ve now decided that they were the post-punk equivalent of Galaxie 500. Dean Wareham’s gang were more about their instrumentals than their lyrics, and my admiration of Mute Drivers (David Rogers and Steve Wright) similarly focuses on the caustic, jangling and furious distortions created by their guitars, the incessant heavy bass-lines and the terrifyingly hypnotic drum machine rhythms. Wonderful stuff.
