Any Other City by Life Without Buildings (Side B) - 301

Modern post-punk music (the post-punk revival revival?) has a fair few acts that all indulge in sprechgesang and sprechstimme vocals. From Dry Cleaning and Squid to Idles and Fontaines D.C., there's a whole lot of artists out there using the same vocal technique that Sue Tompkins deploys effectively on Any Other City.

In part two we chat about modern examples of this sound, including a bunch of post-hardcore and punk bands that do it too. Then we dive headlong into Any Other City itself.
