null and void

Photobucket

Very european sounding minimal synth / new wave stuff from Orange County, 1980. Un Sedatif Ce Soir starts with prison fetish queerness - "I saw a guard in a gay bar, drinking water and gin, I saw him dancing with my boyfriend, he drove a volkswagon" - before turning into a faux-french darkwave dance track that is really really good.

From the Happiness and Contempt 12":

IN LUST

Photobucket

From The Dance's first album, In Lust, 1981. Eugenie Diserio's vocals on the first track remind me of Janet from Softboiled Eggies and vocals on the second song sound a lot like the B-52 girls.
