Albania

While this Scottish group could accurately be called new wave, the type of new wave they played could have probably happened even though punk had by no means existed. They preferred danceable, gently funky music with arch, eccentric lyrics. The current presence of a saxophone within the lineup managed to get even more easy to attract comparisons with a few of Roxy Music’s materials; the electro-blip of a number of the rhythms had been akin to a few of David Bowie’s function in the second option area of the ’70s; as well as the clipped vocal delivery sounded David Byrne-influenced. But, honestly, Albania weren’t almost as interesting as the artists mentioned previously. They created one album and some singles for the Chiswick label in the first ’80s, and do a dance solitary for Stiff in 1982 before phoning it each day.
