Celibates - Shameless Fashion 



#599

1981 Housekeeping

Celibates

Shameless Fashion

Genre: New Wave Synth Pop

1.75 out of 5




Highlights:

Coming Alone




Wow, is this synthy. The only thing that sounds human is the singer and barely. 

We are just getting into the synthetic sounds of the 80s. Human League. Gary Numan. Soft Cell. Yazoo. That’s where this should sit on your shelf. 

Except that it’s a lot uglier. Like if Devo’s outfits were stolen by a bunch of band geeks who were also, incongruously, bullies. 


In a way this makes me miss Fad Gadget.



Ow! 


Why are you hitting yourself, Allen?


Ow! Stop!!!


I’m not doing anything. Say his name again.


Whose? Fad Gadg—ow!!! STOP IT!!!


You stop it. 


No. 


No, you stop it, 1981.
