Post-punk band Minimal Compact announce new album 'Creation is Perfect'
Influential post-punk band Minimal Compact have announced the release of 'Creation is Perfect': an album of new versions of classic tracks, plus a brand new song ‘Holy Roar’. The album is due for release on the 25th of October via the group's own Minimal Compact label.
Accompanying the announcement is a new version of live favourite ‘Statik Dancin’’, a track of barbed hooks, fidgeting energy and an irrestistible groove. Bassist/keyboardist Malka Spigel comments: “We still play ‘Statik Dancin’’ like we always did: driving, minimal, a bit moronic but still catchy. This version has a combination of the energy of the live version plus a fresh sounding production”. You can hear the new version below:
Formed in Amsterdam in 1980, Minimal Compact were part of the original post-punk explosion and performed all around the world, gaining a reputation for energetic, unpredictable, intense shows. However, their studio recordings seldom snared the majesty and power of the live gigs. Now the band have reconvened - together with producer and long-time collaborator Colin Newman (of post-punk legends Wire) - to finally capture their music in its true brilliance.
"Creation if Perfect" is available for pre-order HERE.
Tracklist:
01. Statik Dancin’
02. Take Me Away
03. Nada
04. Raging Souls
05. Not Knowing
06. My Will
07. The Well
08. Holy Roar (new track)
