Listening to this compilation, one can picture the four members of Afterimage--Alec Tension (Dan Voznick), A Produce (aka future ambient explorer Barry Craig), Rich Evac and Holland DeNuzzio--bonding over a love of Public Image Ltd, Pere Ubu, Magazine, The Fall, Patti Smith and Television, while eagerly adding unexpected detours (surf rock, electrifying blasts of saxophone). \u003ci\u003eFaces to Hide\u003c\/i\u003e also makes it easy to see why, back in the day, the Los Angeles Times was compelled to call Afterimage 'LA's Joy Divsion'. Similarly to the UK trailblazers (of whom they were among the first avowed admirers among the LA punks), Afterimage seemed to sculpt their sound in marble, coming up with hypnotic skittery sonics revealed to be chilly upon their surface and fiery in their details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420530725249,"sku":"2420517","price":37.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0761971508208.jpg?v=1750593386","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2420517","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
