Description
The Wolfgang Press – Queer – Cassette
Queer is the debut studio album by the English alternative rock band The Wolfgang Press. It was released in 1986 and received critical acclaim for its unique blend of post-punk and experimental sounds. The album includes tracks like “Mama Told Me Not To Come,” “Girl Like You,” and “Heaven’s Gate,” among others.
Recorded with the aid of ex-Throwing Muses bassist Leslie Langston, Queer is the Wolfgang Press’ leap into the world of dance music. The cover of Randy Newman’s “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” underscores the record’s stranger-in-a-strange-land vibe as Michael Allen’s dramatic vocals and arcane obsessions collide head-on with the ecstatic physicality and immediacy of the dancefloor. Cold and remote, the result is alien funk, a collection of idiosyncratic rhythms, dark textures, and ominous grooves.
The Wolfgang Press was known for pushing musical boundaries and experimenting with different styles, making Queer an influential and innovative album in the alternative music scene of the 1980s.
