The 1985 Listening Post - Greg Sage - Straight Ahead

Greg Sage - Straight Ahead


#484/1117
1985 Housekeeping
Greg Sage
Straight Ahead
Genre: Alternative
4.5 out of 5


Highlights:
Soul’s Tongue
Your Empathy
Lost in Space
World Without Fear

I don’t think we should call this “punk” even though it’s from the genius behind Wipers. It’s a harbinger of what’s coming around the corner that is the next decade. It’s dark and dank. Sage could be on a stage with just a mic and an amp and he would be just as effective and then the album explodes with it’s desert soundtrack wails of despair.
I don’t know what’s going on in Sage’s head or heart but it’s singular and desperate and…human.
