New Wave Diary
2004
A diverse yet coherent snapshot of 1980s UK new-wave pop � focusing on fresh progressive melodic developments and meaningful, affirming lyrics. In the gestalt, the careful listener apprehends the nascent subjective blossoming underway at the time - awakening to new-found emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual freedoms. This pop-nouveau bears witness in its inferences, sounds, and affects, to the necessity of self-discovery, individuation, and responsibility - and simultaneously, to the challenges of social disintegration, degeneration, and the crisis of masculinity. Yet also alludes to a yet unrealised quiescent spiritual potentiality. 77 min.
