Hey. If you like Cold Cave, I think you'll like Bal Pare. It's pretty safe to judge a 7" by its cover, which is what I did when I saw this one winking at me from the racks at Other Music. How could it not be good, all masked and silvery and naked like that?

The four previously unreleased tracks were originally recorded from 1981 to 1984 and are pressed on luscious purple marbled vinyl. The sound is some sort of German/French industrial sex pop. Yum! Listen here and then buy it.

I mean, if you want to. Though I’m not sure why you wouldn't.
