Tuxedomoon

Released in 1987 on the Attitude label, You stands as one of the most atypical, introspective, and atmospheric albums by Tuxedomoon — the American band known for their unique blend of post-punk, experimental music, and avant-garde aesthetics. With this record, the group continues its nomadic and unclassifiable sonic journey, drifting between contemporary composition, cold wave, abstract jazz, ambient soundscapes, and urban poetry.

Recorded across Europe notably in Belgium and Greece You is a wandering, evocative album where voices whisper, synths drift, saxophones meander, and rhythms unravel. Each track feels like it belongs to an imaginary film or a half-remembered dream.

Far from traditional song structures, You unfolds like a sonic collage, blending instrumental pieces, melancholic moods, electronic interludes, and spoken word fragments. The result is dreamlike, fragile, at times unsettling, but always held together by a strong and consistent aesthetic.

With You, Tuxedomoon delivers a record that is out of time and beyond format — deeply marked by themes of doubt, exile, and self-exploration. It's an album that feels like an aural diary or a collection of inner travels. Challenging to unprepared ears, but priceless for those seeking new emotional territories, somewhere between shadow and light.
