Icon of Coil’s music captures the essence of the early 2000s underground scene, blending hard dance, gothic influences, and industrial sounds into what became known as futurepop. Their debut album, Serenity Is The Devil, showcases a raw, dancefloor-oriented approach with catchy melodies and layered synths, establishing them as pioneers of the genre. The album’s re-release highlights its innovative songwriting, even as it reflects the era’s sound.
As we rediscover these ‘dated’ sounds, how do you think nostalgia influences the current music landscape, and do you believe it leads to more innovation or stagnation?
