Here’s an excellent UK DIY post-punk gem from 1982, well within the golden era of bands with this sort of sound.\u00a0Somewhere A Voice\u00a0were based in London and existed for two short years, with just this album and an appearance on\u00a0Compilation 1<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>to show for their time together. The band were primarily a three piece, as their original drummer left before recording the LP and was subsequently replaced with a session musician. According to a rather lengthy discogs bio<\/a>, the melodic interplay on the record is a byproduct of the band’s relative inexperience, with Hillary Dron’s basslines often mimicking the vocals while the synth provides alternate leads. Dron also handled the artwork for the LP.<\/p>\n

That all said, this LP is a great listen from front to back, chock full of Factory-minded post-punk, complete with skirty rhythms, icy synths, and the occasional sax. The closest touchstone for me is the equally obscure Phones debut\u00a0Two Hearts, Two Heads<\/em>, but this LP is a bit quicker on the tempo overall. Perhaps a kinder, gentler Swell Maps?<\/p>\n

Either way, hope y’all enjoy!<\/p>\n
