The difficult second album, if your first album involved inventing a new emotional climate.
Join Hands doubles down on the frostbite: longer songs, funereal pacing, and an atmosphere thick enough to butter. Where other bands were discovering punk could be arty, Siouxsie and company were discovering it could be genuinely unsettling.
“Poppy Day” remains one of the bleakest things ever committed to vinyl by people still technically in their twenties. It’s not an easy listen, but that’s rather the point.
Goth didn’t start with velvet capes; it started here, with discipline, dread, and exceptional cheekbones.
