Detachments/DETACHMENTS LP TINAE042LP 1
Groove Dis Exclusive! The DETACHMENTS debut album now available on vinyl! One of PETER HOOK's fave bands, this record sounds like it was recorded in the 80s and fans of GANG OF FOUR, SISTERS OF MERCY, COMSAT ANGELS or the like will dig it. FYI: they had 2 tracks on the JOY DIVISION tribute album “CEREMONY”. Includes the singles "H.A.L." and "CIRCLES". Full picture sleeve. We liked this record so much we pressed it up on vinyl!! (THISISNOTANEXIT)

Bio: DETACHMENTS are based in London, though all members are actually outsiders to the south of England. The group is led by Lancastrian vocalist/keys/guitarist/ Sebastien Marshal(born Manchester), on guitar is Max Moreau (from Antwerp, Belgium), on drums - Pete Dawson (from Leeds). Their musical framework contains traces of influences that encompass Factory Records, DFA, 1980's Synth-Pop, Punk-Funk, Electro and dark Techno (early Warp Records). Comparisons have been drawn with such greats as Talking Heads, New Order, The Cure and Depeche Mode. Despite the group's at times abstruse, cold veneer they are capable of delivering rather exquisite, wistful pop melodies. "Tuneful pathologies" as the NME put it. Emerging from the shadows, Detachments really have found The Funk and the tunes to boot. Twisted, rhythmic, subverted pop for the new decade. The illustrious set of producers the group have been working with include James Ford, Trevor Jackson, Tim Goldsworthy and Andrew Weatherall. In 2008 Detachments signed to hip, London label Thisisnotanexit Records, "fast becoming the UK's Italians Do It Better" per Clash Magazine.

From the GUARDIAN UK:
Detachments... doing the legacy of Joy Division and New Order proud
Hometown: London.
The buzz: "Disembodied vocal effects, spacey synths and screeching guitar sounds with dubbed-out disco-punk basslines."
The truth: If their New Order homages are good, you need to hear another of their tracks, Messages, which sounds like Gang of Four buried six-feet-under with Martin Hannett.
Most likely to: Feel remote.
Least likely to: Lose control.
File next to: Delphic, Colder, New Order, Psychedelic Furs.
