Black and White

by The Stranglers

Black and White cover art

The Stranglers rapidly evolved beyond their abrasive pub-punk roots with 'Black and White', delivering a highly rhythmic, strikingly cold exploration of early post-punk. Driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's metallic, aggressive basslines and Dave Greenfield's swirling keyboards, the album is a profoundly anxious, delightfully misanthropic masterpiece featuring remarkably complex time signatures.
