These guys are trully underrated. This Art Rock band is offering a very individual compelling songwriting. It takes a few listens to get what they are doing as the songs are often so loose that they are difficult to latch onto. One of the most talented bands of the decade, surely.
There are cult records, and there are cult records! Rexy‘s 1981 album, Running Out of Time, falls under the later. Born out of London’s fashion-centric Blitz Kids scene, Rexy was singer Rex Nayman and Eurythmics band member Vic Martin. Running Out of Time, which was Rexy’s only album, is the sound of cheap keyboards and drum machines, ramshackle playing and Rex’s heavy cockney accented vocals. The record was barely released in the first place and has since since become a sought-after record championed by outsider-friendly musicians like Ariel Pink, Connan Mockasin and Jef Barbara.
