KLEENEX / LILIPUT - First Songs (2024 Repress) - 2LP - Deep Purple Vinyl [MAY 3]

2LP - Limited Edition Deep Purple Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve with liner notes. 

2024 repress of "First Songs", a 2LP set of 24 recordings* from the legendary punk bands Kleenex and LiLiPUT. "First Songs" combines all the pre-1982 material, all 3 Kleenex singles, the first 2 LiLiPUT 7"’s and all the originally unreleased material prior to LiLiPUT’s debut LP.

Legendary Swiss punk band from the late 70s. "You can't dispute LiLiPUT's status as pioneers of feminist art-punk. Along with fellow travellers like the Slits and the Raincoats, this (mostly) female Swiss group took advantage of punk's anything-goes attitude and created jittery, spirited pop that was both in step with the times and completely singular. The early material is a riot of exuberant energy, taking stylistic cues from peers like Gang of Four and Wire - propulsive bass, skittering pop rhythms, slashing guitars - and adding distinctive overlapping vocal patterns, which are sung, shrieked, and hiccupped in three languages and made- up dadaistic slang. More than 40 years on, it still sounds fresh."
