From its appearance ‘Near Marineland’ could be another slab of brooding cold wave (code word for BORING) rescued from the dangly earring and eye liner dustbin of the 1980s, but woah, this hits both the playful/fun and abrasive/artful axises of synthesized post-punk.
This unreleased-at-the-time 1981 LP from the Philadelphia art-school trio album follows the unrelenting ‘Signals From Pier Thirteen’ EP, adding a few more dimensions but not finessing out the fun or filtering the rawness from blasts of synth and drum machine. It makes me wanna grab out my Garry Bradbury era Severed Heads and early Wall Of Voodoo records. Or imagine something between Whammy Kiss era B52s and 7” era SPK. - Nic
