48 Chairs - 70% Paranoid (LP)

Add to Cart

Documenting the unlikely coupling of British free jazz bastion Lol Coxhill and the saucy synth pop don'€™t-wannabes known as Gerry and the Holograms, this rare incognito full-length album bridges the micro-niches of electronic jazz and punk jazz from a band formed in 1979 at an axis where DIY and new wave hadn'€™t quite collided. With sprinklings of post punk female vocals worthy of PragVEC and Suburban Lawns, featuring angular art rock paeans to voodoo dolls and closed-circuit TV, this privately pressed LP comes directly from the man who gave Martin Hannett some of his best ideas and wrote the blueprint for Manchester'€™s new musical order.
