Pete Shelley - Homosapien (Vinyl) (Vinyl)
$71.00
Regular price $56.00Homosapien is the debut solo album by British musician Pete Shelley. The album follows his experimental instrumental album Sky Yen (recorded in 1974 but released in 1980) and his work with the group Buzzcocks, who initially disbanded in 1981.
No prizes for guessing what the "shy boy, coy boy" of the album's title track is a veiled reference to, and in an age when someone could be jailed for their sexual orientation this 'coming out' LP was a brave move - especially from a muso who was a pioneering member of the UK's punk scene which was still quite macho way back in the '80's.
Homosapien saw a marked departure from the punk stylings of Buzzcocks' records, being heavily influenced by the programmed synthesizer sounds and drum machines of synthpop, with the addition of Shelley on acoustic guitar.
