I bought so many records this past year, and these two 7"s arrived right at the end of the year and just blew me away… I’d say these have to be my two favorite records of the past year
TAT 7” (Minimal Wave) - A-side’s cool, but the two B-sides are just incredible, better than anything on the mighty fine Das Ding record IMO… Best Minimal Wave label discoveries since Devil’s Dancers if you ask me. I sure hope there’s more like this in the TAT vaults.
UMRIJETI ZA STROJEM / NEITHER NOR Split 7” (Genetic) - the Narrow LP was also one of my favorites of the year, but this is more straight-up wave, and just so much better. I had a hard time with this guy’s voice at first, but I’ve totally come around to it, and now I recognize it as totally unique and powerful.
