Tune of the Week: Bauhaus

“Paranoia, Paranoia” is as good a Halloween tune as we can think of. It was a b-side to Bauhaus’ equally unsettling single “Lagartija Nick”, an upbeat ditty about Satan. Here the band take disparate sections of what appears to be their song “Silent Hedges” and mixes it with a field recording of them messing about, perhaps before getting onstage somewhere. The disjointed nature of the mix lends itself to an uneasy listen. Perfect listening for a dark day!
