About "Imitation of Christ" by The Psychedelic Furs
The Psychedelic Furs' 'Imitation of Christ' is a gothic-tinged post-punk sermon, all jagged guitars and sneering sax. Richard Butler's rasp coils around a mocking refrain, the band creating a claustrophobic tension between reverence and irreverence. It's a hymn for the faithless, echoing in a cathedral of feedback.
