Rema-Rema

The Profile

A post-punk group noted in the review for blending disturbed folk balladry with noisy, hallucinatory post-punk textures; the review highlights the track "Fond affections" and the ferocious "Rema Rema."

The reviewed release consists of four tracks (two studio, two live), includes a live version of "Fond affections," and is described in the review as among the early releases associated with the 4AD label.

A close reading of Rema-Rema's Wheel in the Roses presents the band as a post-punk act that marries disturbed folk balladry with noisy, hallucinatory production. The review highlights the live recording of “Fond affections,” the ferocious title track “Rema Rema,” and heavy use of reverb/feedback. The reviewer rates the release highly and situates it within the adventurous post-punk era and early 4AD context.
