Some Grey Mornings Vol 1 vinyl

Yet more evidence of just how unfair the American-British dominance of popular music is, Asylum Party should be fondly and widely remembered for their input and influence on the post punk-proto goth years of the mid-1980s. For many people, though, this collection of rare demos and compilation tracks will be their first encounter with the troupe.

Prepare to fall in love - or fall in love again, if this isn't the first time. Some Grey Mornings reflects just how innovative and intensely likeable, in a bleak kind of way, the group were. At times nodding to first-language-English titans like The Cure, in other moments giving them a run for their money in terms of pushing this sub-genre forward, or maybe guiding it to the left with these highly experimental, daring, neo-classical meditations like the staggeringly beautiful heart breaker 'Wet Button'.
