@miblo Funnily enough, I saw this earlier and have queued it up on my “things to check out” playlist! 🌝

@RobertaFidora Aaah, nice one!

@miblo Got a long list of Operating Theatre songs to get through first though. 🙃

@RobertaFidora Oh gosh, I hope you're doing okay. 👩‍⚕️

@miblo Oh, haha, no, I meant these guys! Sorry to have caused alarm!

Spring Is Coming With A Strawberry In The Mouth / Rapid Eye Movements, by Operating Theatre

9 track album

I bought this on 12" when it came out.
"Queen Of No Heart" is on the B side, another banger with some Very Eighties drums.

@dec23k @miblo Excellent. It is very 80s, but also extremely weird in a way I wasn't expecting. I read as well that they were briefly on U2's imprint, or is the internet lying to me again?

Sorry, I meant to say earlier it was on Mother Records. 12MUM4

@dec23k @RobertaFidora Wow, what, 1986?! I've been listening to it under the impression of it being current, with maybe something of a throwback aesthetic. Puts a whole new complexion on it being rooted in the bona fide 80s.

@miblo @dec23k Ooh, quite a lot of Longpigs on there too. Haven’t seen them mentioned anywhere in a while! Must dig out my CD from the cupboard of chaos…

I know, right? Why wasn’t this song absolutely massive in the 80s?!

@RobertaFidora @dec23k Honestly, I'm utterly nonplussed right now!

@dec23k @RobertaFidora @miblo I did the same double take when I was having a quick nosey listen yesterday - thought it sounded like a very convincing 80s pastiche until I read the blurb and realised I was being very stupid.

Then I went and listened to Single Gun Theory instead.
