Album Notes & Community Reviews

Associates' 'Sulk' is a wildly ambitious, breathtakingly manic explosion of art-pop and post-punk theatricality. Alan Rankine鈥檚 lush, complex musical arrangements provide a grand, deeply atmospheric backdrop for Billy Mackenzie's operatic, soaring vocal acrobatics. The album stands as an incredibly quirky, surreal, and uniquely energetic pinnacle of British new wave.
