It's a quintessentially English sound displaying Ralph Cumbers' talents
Portsmouth
but Jabu’s orchestration of womb-like ambiences
hazy glitch experiments and trance inducing downtempo collide with sharp percussion and dense low end on this latest Alter 12”
The Scissor Girls - The Scissor Girls LP xx1985 RYUICHI SAKAMOTO'S LANDMARK 1981 ALBUMA vinyl pressing of THE SCISSOR GIRLS' handmade, self released demo tape from 1992. From 1991 1996, the Scissor Girls reigned as the most jarring, intense, and unpredictable band, the centerpiece of the 'Chicago no wave' scene. Their recorded legacy (two LPs, a 10", and a handful of 7"s) is all highlights, but nothing else sounds quite as friendless and focused as these very first recordings. Seven pin sharp, searing, precise songs.
