Y

The Pop Group, “Y” (Radar, 1979)
Deservedly legendary Brit post-punk explorers—coiled but fluid noise-funk that passes through dub-like open spaces and bursts of electro-acoustic racket. Parts are surprisingly tender and lyrical, abruptly juxtaposed with patches of twitched-out ferocity. These are people committed to living out complete political and artistic autonomy – and to collapsing the distinction between the two. This is what the 20th century sounded like at its furthest reach.
