new wave

Thrill Jockey mammoth Trans Am has a new album out named “Sex Change”. Arguably one of the most prominent bands of the 90s alongside Tortoise and Labradford, their new album is interestingly radiofriendly somewhat opposed to their eclectic musical tastes. Frankly I’ve never been a huge fan of synth + rock, or new wave, or the arena electronic aesthetic of MTV’s pop acts, but this album caught me totally offguard.

No need to tell anything about this psychedelia and new wave infused post-punk record, that’s post-punk before there was punk even! Talk about being a visionary!!.. Featuring a young Bill Laswell on bass..
