Second Language - In Shadows ep (1984, Lingo)

Alas, another one I don't own a physical iteration of, and even more so I don't recall where I procured the files from (though I'm fairly confident I'm not lifting off any fellow bloggers).  Second Language were an Aussie proposition entailing a frontwoman possessing just the stripe of commanding, hypnotic timbre for the brand of icy goth rock this five-piece were determined to make their calling card.  Overall, their effect is a bit more austere and amelodic then say, Siouxsie an Co. but they can't help but veer in a similar vicinity.  In terms of overarching aesthetic and temperament the results are impeccable, even if they're hardly creating these four songs out of whole cloth.  A big round of applause to whomever went to the trouble of digitizing this.
