She Wants Revenge – She Wants Revenge (2xLP)

She Wants Revenge’s self-titled debut is a brooding, dance-floor ready plunge into darkwave-tinged post-punk. The duo, Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin, craft sleek, atmospheric grooves laced with gothic synth undertones and echoing with the emotional detachment reminiscent of ’80s new wave. With its haunting vocal delivery and hypnotic rhythms, the album delivers a sleek yet intense listening experience, driven by standout tracks like “Tear You Apart,” “These Things,” and “Sister.”

Despite its moody aesthetic, the album radiates a polished confidence that feels effortlessly cool—like 2 a.m. whispers in neon-lit alleys. It’s drenched in style without skimping on substance, offering a seductive blend of melancholic melodies and shadowy charm. Whether you’re seeking to move or to brood—or both—it’s an album that pulls you in and holds you with its intoxicating energy.
