"In their all-too-brief career (1979-1983), Bauhaus were as likely as Gang Of Four to experiment with white funk, as able as PIL to try dub reggae and as important as Joy Division in reshaping rock itself" - Independent on Sunday

"The return of Bauhaus will provide us with one of the glorious soundtracks to the first part of the year" - Mojo

“I come with this darkness and go away white.”

Bauhaus slid fully formed from punk rock’s womb in late 1978. Over the course of four hot years, the unintentionally birthed a genre (Goth), moved on, moved forward and surged mercurial through the post-punk music scene, tearing into tense, stark, dub-bass driven new-wave, T-Rex-esque glam, and swirling, clattering, orchestral atmospherics, whilst churning it all into a grand velvet, Rimbaudian hallucination. It was a wild, inspired, enthralling sound. And it still is. Now there is a new record.

“Go Away White” was recorded in 18 days at Zircon Skye in Ojai, with singer Peter Murphy, bassist Daniel 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.
