VA – Cold Wave #2 (Vinyl)
$95.00
Regular price $75.00Cold Wave is a loosely defined music genre that emerged in Europe in the late 1970s, characterized by its detached lyrical tone, use of early electronic music instruments and a minimalist approach and style.
It emerged from punk rock bands who, influenced by early electronic groups such as Kraftwerk, made use of affordable portable synthesizers such as the Korg MS-20. Descendants of the original cold wave, such as Lena Willikens, Tolouse Low Trax, Job Sifre and many others continue the sound’s branches in the modern day.
One of those rarer sets where Soul Jazz Records source from the recent, not distant, past, on Cold Wave #2 the featured artists all wear their influences clearly, offering a more streamlined answer to the late ‘70s / early ‘80s movement forged by the likes of Suicide, Patrick Cowley, The Normal, Martin Hannett, Laurie Anderson, or Public Image which has endured to inform the contemporary underground.
Where the original wavers used the machines at their disposal, all artists here make a conscious aesthetic decision to limit themselves to what is now lo-fi and ostensibly obsolete gear. Highlights include Lena Willikens’ ‘Howling Lupus,’ ‘At Least We Try’ by Job Sifre, Tolouse Lowe Trax’s ‘Rushing Into Water,’ & ‘Hiding’ by Beta Evars.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
