A Sordid Poppy

In the early 90s, two brothers and few school mates decided to form «A Sordid Poppy»
refering to Siouxsie's «Poppy Days» and Babel 17 «A Sordid Waste». Their music is always a bit cold but still with some « touching-pop » elements as well as experimental, complex and (then) modern elements. The lyrics are nicely arranged, sometimes surrealistic, sometimes haughty, but
always terribly decadent !
Their influences are easy to identify, as for exemple The Cure, Mecano, And Also The Trees, Minimal Compact and especially Bauhaus. The tracks on this CD are taken from the demo tapes « Dehiscence » and « Red Cloud Sessions » + one unreleased track. Thanks to these tracks, at last, we can discover some more about this Alsatian band, unrecognized in France, but so familiar for the elders that have have known the "Great East" and its small alternative scene.
