Releasing exactly on the fortieth anniversary of their legendary debut 'Pink Flag', the influential post-punk pioneers deliver their fifteenth studio album. The record eschews their early, abrasive punk aesthetics in favor of lush, shimmering pop melodies and driving, mid-tempo motorik rhythms. It proved that Colin Newman and company remained as vital, forward-thinking, and creatively restless as ever.
