Background

AllMusic describe the band's sound as "witty, dark and exciting music comparable to Howard Devoto's Magazine, mixing post-punk and new wave with a drop of funk to produce an intensely nervous, modern, yet romantic sound, often copied but rarely equaled."[1] Billboard called the band's two albums "highly influential".[2]
