Local Heroes SW9 “New Opium” / #KevinArmstrong “How the West Was Won” 1981
This was a split LP, Local Heroes SW9 side A, Armstrong's solo work side B. Armstrong formed Local Heroes SW9 in 1980. They released “Drip Dry Zone” on Oval Records that year, and this ‘half album’ was their final release. Thomas Dolby played keyboards on two tracks; Armstrong would return the favor several years later, playing guitar on Dolby’s first two albums.
“New Opium” was prickly, shimmery #PostPunk, political, didactic, but with a light touch and, dare I say, optimism. The title track flirts with dub, not unlike what #JahWobble would bring to his future projects on Oval.
A streaming compilation, “Drip Dry Zone & New Opium” was released in 2008. With audible surface noise at some points, this has to be a straight vinyl rip; to my knowledge, neither has ever been mastered for CD, nor has the vinyl been reissued.
