Swamp Children - Taste Whats Rhythm

Factory Benelux - 12"

Belgium, 1982

Jazzdance / Jazz-Funk

Extremely beautiful example of that sunny and eerily bossa nova-inspired kind of post-punk that eventually came out of Manchester studios, probably to conjure the damp cobblestones and the grey skies of a city that brought the world Joy Division. Much lighter and more elegant than the records they'd release later as Kalima, this early 12" on Factory Benelux is a mancusian cousin of Antena's masterpiece Camino Del Sol, another essential 1982 production.
