Releases
After the release of their first single "Safe at One," the band was signed by now-defunct Luminal Records, who released their second single "Patroness." A split 12-inch EP release with Canadian "progressive deathrock" band A Spectre Is Haunting Europe would soon follow, this time issued by Atlanta label Stickfigure Records.[1] Entertainment released their debut album Gender in 2008 through Stickfigure. It went on to receive extensive critical acclaim and was voted the 2008 deathrock album of the year by Deathrock.com.[2] A remastered vinyl version of Gender was then released the following year on New York label Duchess Archive.[3]
Influences
Influences include The Doors, Love, Led Zeppelin, Bauhaus, Public Image Limited, The Cure, Gang of Four, Christian Death, Joy Division, The Birthday Party, dub, and krautrock.[4]
