WAUT,ELISA - ELISA WAUT (IEX) Vinyl LP

Originally issued as a hand-dubbed demo tape in 1982, Elisa Waut's icy debut gets it's first vinyl issue. The Flemish trio of Chery Derycke and siblings Elsje and Hans Helewaut took new wave to it's natural conclusion; trading Europe's organic post-punk approach for the new cold war order of synth and rhythm box. Soviet paranoia, isolation, suicidal musings, and other miscellaneous bouts of young adult depression are covered in both French and English. A 28-minute minimal wave masterpiece.
