California-based post-punk/dark wave group; documented release: the mini LP Fade In (1981), described as mixing dark wave with a surf-tinged Californian underground sound.

DeBaser hosts one review of Afterimage's mini LP Fade In (1981). The review praises its post-punk/dark wave sound with a Californian 'dark surf' twist and rates it highly. Listeners are invited to notice Joy Division echoes and a surf-like marine progression in tracks such as "Satellite of Love."

For:Fans of post-punk, dark wave, 1980s Californian underground music and dark surf aesthetics.

 Aside from the genuine post-punk dark wave sound, there's a surf contamination in this mini LP by those who ride the waves at the stroke of midnight, in total darkness—a dark surf akin to Silver Surfer of the Californian underground, more than ever a forge of incredible unexpected ensembles: Bpeople, Human Hands, Factrix, Monitor, Nervous Gender, 100 Flowers, Party Boys who at the beginning of the ’80s opened up eclectic scenarios of postpunkishness.
