Here’s a 7” recommended highly by a few collectors out there.\u00a0 This one hails from 1982 and features a dirgey, drum heavy minimal synth sound very similar to Pink Industry (with vocals that sound like a pitched down\/drugged out Bowie or John Foxx) on the a-side.\u00a0 The B-side is a little more new wave-y by definition, but still a great listen.\u00a0 Fans of Fallout Club may like this one as well.<\/p>\n

This is the band’s second single on Stork Records.\u00a0\u00a0 I only have the A-side of that at 128, but if someone has this one and can rip both sides, feel free to chime in! \u00a0EDIT:<\/strong>\u00a0Soul brotha Nick over at Crispy Nuggets just exhumed the first 7”, so head on over there<\/a> to grab it.<\/p>\n

Chuck from the band chimed in recently and had this to say about this excellent slice of synth goodness:<\/p>\n

Recorded in a basement on a Dokordor Open Reel 4 track on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio. I know this because I played bass, some keys, and audio manipulations. Smiling Daughters took months to record, I\u2019m So Confused(I\u2019m A Mess) took a weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n

You heard it from the source, kids!<\/p>\n
