Backfire of Joy

"Backfire of Joy" is an experimental live recording from 1982, featuring Phew's spontaneous, free-associative vocals over a backdrop of shortwave radio noise, synths, and tape loops. The album captures the unhinged exploration of the 1980s experimental underground, blending crashing percussive tape loops, deluges of shortwave noise, insistent piano figures, and playful synth melodies.
