Vauxhall Seraux were a New Jersey trio that are/were seemingly impervious to search engines, though the music on this EP isn't quite as clandestine - in nature anyway. V/S's somewhat ubiquitous stripe of snyth pop could have straddled the Top-40/college divide effortlessly, though I can't vouch for them receiving a considerable amount of airplay in either arena. Benefiting from two capable vocalists in
Michael Miller and
Chip Daggett, they commandeered their compact troupe through catchy, albeit none-too-innovative titles like "Come Away" and "Too Young," yielding similar results akin to higher profile contemporaries OMD, Hipsway, and the like. Despite some patently obvious 80s-isms I enjoyed this one.

Love obscure 80's, so much we haven't heard...thanks!
Wow, I went looking, and all searches pointed back here. That's really unusual.
Cool EP, not an original idea on it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Especially fun since I have been working with my old synths lately, so I'm looking for stuff like this.
Thanks for posting this. We were from Sparta, NJ. We recorded this when we were in high school and it was released 2 years later. I tried to leave an earlier comment and I'm not sure if it went through, but we're remastering it at Abbey Road and if you want me to send a file hit me up at gtdaggett@yahoo.com No charge of course.
