This is a 12" single released in 1988 by Sigmund Und Sein Freund, a Belgian unit consisting of Dirk Van Severen and Kris Belaen who were active from the mid-80s to mid-90s. This single has a dark gothic atmosphere, but with a very deep new wave sound, similar to the UK indie rock of the late 80s and early 90s. In particular, the B-side features experimental ambient with distorted electric guitars and drones, which is both noisy and floaty, making it a must-listen.
