Prophetic Justice Ministry's "Key to World Peace": An Atmospheric Blend of Synth, Folk, and Cover
By
Shaad D’Souza
Summary
A review of "Key to World Peace," the second album by Australian musician Sam Perry (aka Prophetic Justice Ministry). The album blends disparate moods — from harsh synth-and-drum-machine textures to ethereal, fog-like atmospheres reminiscent of Angelo Badalamenti's scores — united by a strong sense of atmosphere. It includes a notable cover of Lana Del Rey's "Mariners Apartment Complex" delivered with Perry's distinct Kiwi accent.
