Sauna Youth, the Other SY

Screw you dark morning sky, daylight savings, and Mondays in general. At least I have some good news to cheer me up. Sauna Youth's 2012 release Dreamlands has been reissued on vinyl via Gringo Records and is out now.

SY (not to be confused with Sonic Youth) are an outstanding artful post-punk 4 piece from London who put out one of my favorite records last year, Distractions.

RIYL Looper and Wire.

Throwback Thursday : A.C. Marias

Looking back to 1989 when Angela Conway recorded an album for Mute Records on the name A.C. Marias. The collaborators for this remarkable piece of music entitled One of Our Girls (Has Gone Missing) include Bruce Gilbert of Wire (a band she had a long history of working with), Rowland S. Howard (Birthday Party), and Barry Adamson (Magazine / Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) making this a must listen for those who have an interest in sparse, experimental post-punk with a dark cloud hovering over top.
