Virtually no info to be had out there on the web, but I do know this record dropped in 1981 via Chicken Jazz, who released several records by The Waterboys. The cover looks a little reminiscent of A-ha&#8217;s &#8220;Take On Me&#8221; video, but the styles are quite different. Here we have what seems to be two one-man minimal synth tracks. The a-side has a bit of a Felt\/Eyeless in Gaza-esque vibe to it (a sound I very much enjoy), and features lyrics I&#8217;m sure everyone can relate to. The second track (a cover of a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YY8APrYU2Gs\">70s ballad<\/a>) is a bit more driving, but still has a bit of sadness behind the uptempo melody. All in all, an excellent obscurity to kick off your week!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/2011\/04\/ahab-party-girl-7\/ahab\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3439\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3439\" src=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/ahab-295x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/ahab-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/ahab.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ahab- <i>Party Girl<\/i> 7&#8221;<br \/>\n1.
