Here’s a rather obscure new wave\/post-punk tinged single from the West Coast.\u00a0 Los Angeles to be exact.\u00a0 While this is the only known release by Landscape of Sound (released in 1983), the band has direct ties to like-minded post-punk band Drowning Pool, who formed soon after this 7” was released.\u00a0 Before the band would become Drowning Pool (who put out some rather excellent and delightfully easy to find LPs in the mid-80s), this single served as a respectable point of entry for Brett Smith and Adam Elesh.\u00a0 The project evolved from a basic partnership to include other Los Angeles area musicians.\u00a0 According to the Drowning Pool biography<\/a>, the band came together while hanging out at Pier Records (managed by Chris Maneke of Abecedarians, covered here<\/a> in the past).\u00a0 Maneke would also produce several Drowning Pool recordings.<\/p>\n

The real gem on this 7” is the b-side, a rickety, but excellent post-punk track with jangly chorus-heavy guitar and those synth strings we all know and love. Definitely a winner if I’ve ever heard one…\u00a0 The a-side is a little more new wave, reminiscent of the UK synth scene, but with a more organic touch.\u00a0 There’s still a similar vibe running through it, so it’s not a night and day sort of affair.\u00a0 Either way, it’s an excellent single that deserves a listen or twenty, so without any further ado…<\/p>\n
