The ten songs on 'Go Away White' channel the kind of magic timelessness you could imagine on a mighty bill with Joy Division, Bowie, Devo, The Creatures, Antony, My Bloody Valentine and Kraftwerk – with Oscar Wilde playing master of ceremonies.

The brand new Bauhaus album was recorded in eighteen days at Zircon Skye in Ojai, with singer Peter Murphy, bassist David J, guitarist Daniel Ash and drummer Kevin Haskins playing together as a band in one room, taking first takes as final cuts. So, a new record but apparently a final one, the band having decided to release it as a posthumous swan song.

'Go Away White' is everything you would hope Bauhaus would deliver as their final statement. Fronted by a cover photo of Bethesda, the angel of the healing waters in New York's Central Park, the music inside is pure-cathartic renovation, a psychedelic glimpse into an enchanted moment. Aided in part by guitarist Daniel Ash's inspired use of Jimi Hendrix's own personal Vox wah-wah pedal, gifted to him by Peter Murphy at the start of the sessions, it is pop as much as it is experimental.
