Album Notes & Community Reviews

Fad Gadget's 'Incontinent' expanded Frank Tovey's theatrical synth-punk persona with brittle electronics, confrontational performance gestures, and darkly comic social observation. The album sits within Mute's early catalog as a bridge between post-punk song form and body-centered electronic minimalism.
