1x Vinyl LP Album Remastered
Release date: Apr 4, 2025, UK
A sharp blend of post-punk, no wave, and avant-prog, III of Pentacles showcases Thought Leadership’s angular, restless energy and experimental edge. Guitars slice and stutter over tight, mathy rhythms, while vocals swing between spoken-word, dissonant melody, and cryptic, almost ritualistic chants.
The band leans into the lineage of groups like Pere Ubu, This Heat, and early Wire — but there’s also a distinctly modern tension at play, with production that feels raw yet precise. Lyrically and sonically, the album plays with themes of labor, structure, and esotericism, hinted at by its tarot-inspired title.
Challenging and rewarding, III of Pentacles is ideal for fans of art-punk, experimental rock, and the more cerebral corners of the underground.
