I’ve ripped a few new acquisitions too, so with that in mind, here’s an LP that’s appeared elsewhere on the net thanks to Fantod Under Glass<\/a>, but I finally got my hands on a fresh copy for maximum listening pleasure.\u00a0 Fantastic debut release from Stranger to Stranger, a Philadelphia, PA band from 1984.\u00a0 As Fantod explains, there’s\u00a0a heavy 4AD influence here, from the more esoteric post-punk era of the label (My Captains, Mass, etc.) as well as some similarities\u00a0to Sad Lovers and Giants, European Toys, and the above mentioned I’m So Hollow.<\/p>\n Quite a UK-centric sound for this ambitious Philadelphia band, who have six more releases following this one.\u00a0 I’ve only heard 1985’s The Child In Me 12” and\u00a0the follow up LP, both of which move more towards an indie\/jangle sound.\u00a0 Great if you like that sort of thing as well (I certainly do), but this LP is the real deal, and both “Easter Night” and “Evening Opus” have quickly become favorites.\u00a0\u00a0 You can get the 12” on Vinyl Obscurity<\/a>, and you can catch the Darkest Dreams<\/em> LP on A Viable Commercial<\/a>!<\/p>\n You can read a bit more about the band here<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/strangertostranger-298x300.jpg\")
