All Souls

Description

Compiled by Siouxsie Sioux, ‘All Souls’ is collection of singles, B-sides and album tracks pulled from the more macabre regions of their songwriting and conceived as a seasonal compilation ‘to celebrate the autumn equinox and its festivities’. Well received by fans and critics alike, it has a cohesive theme while cleverly encapsulating all that makes Siouxsie and the Banshees great, from their initial punk moves to their more experimental journeys in sound. Defiantly not a hits collection, despite featuring some of their most famous tracks, like ‘Spellbound’ and ‘Peek-A-Boo’, ‘All Souls’ is more curated and personal, serving as both a stylish artefact for long-term fans as well as solid introduction for the curious. A good many of the selections stand out among a strong pack, but ‘Sweetest Chill’, ‘Something Wicked (This Way Comes)’ and the unhinged, almost demonic take on the Ben E. King hit ‘Supernatural Thing’, in particular, should surprise and delight those that are only familiar with their best-known sides.
