Hyæna

Hyæna, released in 1984 by Siouxsie and the Banshees, expands the band's post-punk and gothic rock roots into more ornate art pop and neo-psychedelic territory. The record pairs Siouxsie Sioux's dramatic, commanding vocals with atmospheric guitar textures, intricate rhythmic patterns, and denser arrangements that incorporate brass and layered production elements. Overall the album emphasizes mood and cinematic scope while retaining a sharp rhythmic drive and an experimental approach to songcraft.
