VAZZ
YOUR LUNGS AND YOUR TONGUES (NUMERO GROUP)
Channelling the Euro-pop sensibilities of Crepuscule and the ethereal goth of 4AD, Vazz arrived in Glasgow just as the Sound of Young Scotland was taking off.
Armed with a drum machine, guitar, bass, and Anna Howson's icy cooing, the duo offered a darker take to a scene dominated by poptimists Orange Juice, Josef K, and Aztec Camera.
This 40th anniversary edition of their 1986 mini-album Your Lungs and Your Tongues compiles their complete Cathexis recordings and adds a handful of unissued minimal wave pearls.
Colder than Dalwhinnie on the solstice- better bring a parka.
