Playgroup

Epic Sound Battles - Chapter 1

RSD 2021 RELEASE! An experimental avant-dub/post-punk album of sorts, this notable 1982 album by Playgroup gets reissued on 180-GRAM CLEAR VINYL. Playgroup was more than anything a collective, based somewhere around Bristol and London. Drummer Bruce Smith was the key figure behind the project. Neneh Cherry's husband and fabulous motorik force for The Pop Group, The Slits, New Age Steppers, African Head Charge and - more recently - Public Image Limited, Bruce brought the post-punk aura into the realm of controlled chaos with several partners in crime. Playgroup is the so-called English version of Jamaican dub, informed by the industrial revolution and the studio wizardy of On U Sound acolytes.
