Stateless

Vocal acrobatics and quirky, theatrical intensity define this record, anchored by the runaway popularity of the hit single Lucky Number. It persists as a notable work of late-seventies art-punk that avoids taking itself too seriously while displaying a truly singular vocal approach.

Stiff Records documented the lively, rowdy spirit of the London new wave environment effectively here. The engineering balances serrated guitar riffs with offbeat electronic textures, creating a mood that feels both agitated and incredibly catchy.
