From Iceland — Mezzoforte, Garden Party (1983)

Published June 24, 2005

Comparable Contemporary: Incomparable with anyone on the air today, to the relief of everyone.
Description: A nightmarish journey through a neon-coloured, mullet-sporting, Reebok-wearing wasteland.
Dated Features: The slap bass, electric drums, nauseating washes of keyboards, falsetto vocals . . . hell, it’s all dated.
Rating: The only use for this album is to remind the nostalgic of just how horrifying the 80s could be.

Costs three bjórlíki, worth only the pilsner.
