Vital Records #18: Making Waves
Three new wave tracks from ‘70s England that still ripple outwards

Many of you are ardent fans of English ‘70s new wave. And for good reason.
It’s easy to romanticise this foggy, mysterious land when it has given so much good music to the world.
The ’60s have long dominated the conversation, but the new wave scene in mid- and late-’70s England holds its own.
So I thought you might want to hear it from someone who experienced it first-hand.
