专辑简介

Museum of Devotion formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1986. Our original lineup included James Cooper on vocals, guitar, drum machine and keyboards; and Robert Anderson on lead guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and programming.The first Museum of Devotion album, “…to the Pink Period” was recorded in 1988. The Pink Period sessions were recorded at Old School House Studios in Ann Arbor, Michigan, under the record label Lively Arts, a division of New Rose Records in Paris, France. The album received critical acclaim and positioned the band into the Coldwave genre within the Alternative music electro-industrial scene along with bands such as Joy Division, This Mortal Coil, TheCure, and Asylum Party.

Museum of Devotion released the “Racist” EP in 1989, which featured a more electronic spin to their style, including an aggressive cover of “Groove Line” by the funk group Heatwave and a French sung song Crack. Museum of Devotion went into a hiatus before returning in 2014 with new material and the same Coldwave attitude. Despite the band’s absence from the scene, their relevance remains, as seen by tracks such as “Canary in a Cathouse”, "Those Pale Eyes" and “Devotion” continuing to be on regular spin rotation by DJ’s across Europe and the United States in the Gothic rock and Darkwave scenes.

Museum of Devotion have recently completed a video for the 1990 single, “Slomo”; and have recently finished an EP entitled “Another Cold Wave”, which will be released in 2014. Join them at Museumofdevotion.com and on Facebook/ Museum of Devotion for current news, dialog and information.
