Scritti Politti

The most "Gramscian" band in England, fellow townsmen of the Gang Of Four but less radical, stylistically more diverse and inspired by "wyattian" influences: memorable gems of sophisticated pop, enhanced by the extraordinary voice of Green Gartside - "Gettin' & Holdin'", "Sweetest Girl," and "Lions After Slumber" are the undisputed masterpieces. After '84, they became more conventional but never disappointing, and in return, they had the cream of American session musicians in the studio.

Scritti Politti

British new wave/synth-pop group formed in 1977, led by Welsh-born singer-songwriter Green Gartside. Early DIY/post-punk singles on Rough Trade evolved into the polished pop of Cupid & Psyche 85 and later albums, with literate lyrics and sleek production.
