Eat - [1989] - Sell Me A God [251k VBR]

Eat - [1989] - Sell Me A God [251k VBR]

Sell Me a God (1989)is a lost treasure in the whole Indie-Rock thing of the late 80s.

All things said. This is one of my 5 favourite albums of all time, trying to squeeze that sentence from my lips.

The lyrics are urban, but timeless.
Like one of my favourite sentences from the Tom Wait'ish' track "Red Moon":
"Is life worth living?, well it depends on the liver."

I don't have that many albums that don't have love as a main infulence of pain, this is more like Munchs' "Scream", the way you feel utterly lost, and watching people around you, everything like a theatrical scene.

Ange Dolittle's strong controlled vocals lead the way on this debut album from 1989. It rocked it's way through World Domination, petrol, Mr. and Mrs. Smack, bums, drink, and boredom. Theirs is an urban world full of chaos and falling apart. Paul and Max Noble provide excellent lead on guitar and are always in control no matter the pace. The individual members worked as a team to create the final songs. The album did not chart.
