Human Drama

Lyrics steeped in the florid Romanticism of Keats but given a morbid twist of the knife. Since the formation in '86, Human Drama have helped galvanize L.A.'s Goth scene. Their arrangements display an affection for classical music, the gloomy folk of Leonard Cohen and, of course, the foppish artiness of Goth pioneers like the Cure and Eyeless in Gaza.
