#OTD Sept 11, 1979
Sheffield, England trio Vice Versa release their debut EP, “Vice Versa Music 4”
They’re an experimental electronic group who burst on the scene with this EP, released on their own label, Neutron Records.
In a few months, Vice Versa will be interviewed by Martin Fry for the fanzine Modern Drugs. He’s intrigued by the band and teams up with two of the band members to form a new band called ABC that will have the hits “Poison Arrow” and “The Look of Love” in 1982.
The sound is very minimalist. The synths buzz & drone under random sound effects. A very “post punk” sound kinda like The Normal or Suicide. "Camille" is particularly chilling, a sound collage utilizing samples from a news report on a natural disaster.
