Love Zombies expands the cabaret stylings while limiting the bizarre material, producing a smoother & more accessible sound. Stronger melodies & lyrics that take sharp, light jabs at emotional traps & social mores.

Oh great - yet another retro #indie comp where *every single artist* is white.

No #MonochromeSet or #ARKane or #Sandkings or #Lush or #Cornershop?

The #whitewashing of a scene I grew up and played in never fails to amaze me.

Strange Boutique "I read a bit of Restoration poetry and listen to Leadbelly, and it comes out like that" (Bid, The Monochrome Set). The casual prose of pop history is full of backhanded compliments, and The Monochrome Set have received a few, ranging from "should have been massive" to "influential", numbering the likes of Morrissey and Marr, Blur's Graham Coxon and Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos among their celebrity admirers. Released in February 1980, their first album Strange Boutique, featuring the band's percussion-heavy theme song (predating Adam & The Ants's "Kings of the Wild Frontier" by months) and the Johnny Marr-anticipating "Love Goes Down The Drain", caught the Monochrome Set in full flight, quickly followed by the equally taut, funny and adventurously dynamic Love Zombies.

Another slice of post-punk brilliance ...
