The sort of so-minimal-it-barely-seems-there lo-fi bedroom pop that could make Low seem bombastic and overwhelming by comparison.A Brief History of the Twentieth Century by Gang Of Four (Review)
This compilation captures the panic and urgency in Gang of Four’s stripped down, funked up post-punk.Silence Is Better Than Nothing by Angle (Review)
