The 1981 Listeing Post - Tactics - Giebe

 Reviewed by Tom Mott

Released: November 9 1981 Tactics Glebe Genre: Post-Punk Pop Rating: 3.8 out of 5 Highlights: Running Downhill Centerpoint Between The Trains A post-punk band that loved Love brings us erratic, sharp, yet surprisingly airy music. Floating countertenor vocals, up-stroke guitars, time changes, and quirky musical interludes. It's either a white dress with gold stripes or a blue dress with black stripes. Worth listening and deciding for yourself, but they had me with the song title "Arthur Lee At Houston Airport" and bonus points for having a trumpet player. Shades of Fred Banana Combo, Steve Miro, and Beat Crazy.
