From Blue to Black is a melancholic read of blurred memories and guilt.
It's the early 90's in England, Triangle are a cult band on the post-punk scene with talented yet troubled vocalist Karl and bass player David. Karl has a haunted past and is stuck between chasing fame and his destructive behaviours.
This is a story of passion, blood, alcohol and broken lives that is fuelled by music and politics. It's quite an empathetic read as Lane provides a clear perception of feeling lost. It's quite bleak but Lane captures the live gig energy perfectly as we go on a journey of sexual and musical discovery.
