On this date in 1985, SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES released the single CITIES IN DUST, (October 18th 1985). Using the volcanic demolition of Pompeii as a metaphor for the ruin of civilisation itself, CITIES IN DUST saw Siouxsie’s powerful, nuanced vocals ruling over spectral synths, layered percussion and urgent drums. Her voice complementing perfectly the bleak lyrics referencing the destruction of Pompeii to the cauldron-hot larval flows of Mount Vesuvius. #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees #CitiesInDust #Ele
