One of two faux groups created by this pack of Dutch pranksters (the other being a faux French post punk unit called Agonie Ajournee) these odd ducks, probably best known for their work with Dagmar Krause in Commuters, here play at being a Polish dissident underground art rock band, with a Polish gal pal wrangled in to translate text and spiel over the sounds and the results are often highly amusing and enjoyable, with detuned strings sawing away amidst much thudding as wheezing harmoniums and spasmodic clatter fill in the blanks around Monica Malewicz's nutty nattering.
Note: The band themselves are offering a high quality digital download of this EP on their Bandcamp page for an optional donation. Get it Here
Always wanted to hear this one so thank you very much for posting it. Any chance for Agonie Ajournee in the future?

ReplyDeletehello! i see it's been a while since you posted this, but -anayway ... for those interested: I recently came across a couple of left over boxes with brand new copies of most amphibious vinyl releases from the early 1980s (all except Commuters) ... you can order them by paypal at my - eternally incomplete - amphibious website ...
