XL-1: Double Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Domino
Release Date: 6th June

Pete Shelley hitting a little harder with the synths on 'XL-1' as opposed to his debut 'Homosapien' that still had a little Buzzcocks left in the tank and pulling in new influences from dub to the lounge pop sophistication of Roxy Music and Bowie.

On XL-1, released in May 1983, Shelley moved further into experimental sounds, utilizing new technology and creating songs in the studio rather than demoing them. He even incorporated video and graphic elements into the album, embracing both dub mixes and cutting-edge music production. Despite the challenges, XL-1 was another bold step into the future, driven by Shelley's ambition to keep pushing musical boundaries and experimenting with new sounds and ideas.
