100 Flowers

100 Flowers, “100 Flowers” (Superior Viaduct; original release 1983)
Minimalist/absurdist first-wave LA punks learn to play, and the result is the truest American counterpart to Wire’s 154 – tensely machine-tooled guitar-bass-drums interplay that still has pop bounce and brilliance and punk abandon. Each tune is its own distinct, perfect little contraption, but sixteen of ‘em sure pack a collective wallop.
