For a decidedly new wave album, there's a lot of passion and emotion on Erase. Danyx's brooding, Nico-esque voice has a searching quality about it, and there are some great moments when it breaks out of its stylized discontent to become genuinely melodic and, fleetingly, joyous. Recommended tracks include "Face," "Delicate," the Cure-tinged "Tied," and "Take Me to the World," a bittersweet but ultimately upbeat song that hints at what's to come on The Kokoon's incredible follow-up Berlin.
