Scritti Politti are great. Skank Bloc Bologna is an all timer. Giving this comp a check now as there so much material here I'm unfamiliar with. Thanks!
Yeah I loveeee Swell Maps. Some all timer interludes on their debut. Love when the motorik beats kick in on the second half on that one.
This one's also been a recent love. Marion Coutts is one of my favorite front women.
'Doubt Beat' is everything I ever wanted from guitar-based rock music. "Someimes I think that we do, and then again I think that we don't!" _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Swell Maps were one of the first bands I got into after I digested the big post-punk bands (Television, Joy Division, Bauhaus, etc.) and they still relatively hold up. Definitely in the same sphere as The Mekons, Aunt Sally, and the like for me. Very good.
Anyway, here's some Mekons while I'm on the subject:
Charli and I have gone back and forth over the years clowning on each other's tastes (well mostly she clowns on me) but one thing we've always agreed on is that Ludus fucking slap. The Seduction is the closest thing post punk really ever got to Henry Cow and Linder is so expressive in a very visceral -you can feel her body contort in the studio as they're recording these tracks- sorta way. Big fan, the live videos of this band are something else entirely.
Anyway re Gowi. Yeah Aunt Sally are choice but as Gowi introduced me to over discord, the singer's followup self titled album is a masterwork. It's produced by Holger & Jaki from Can and when you've got the rhythm section of one of the greatest bands of all time you can't go wrong. + engineering from the legend Conny Plank!

Just gonna expand on this: that glitchy guitar intro and the hyper-catchy, trebly bassline are just insanely good.
Also, absolute yes to the Bush Tetras. 'You Can't Be Funky' is a master jam.
Some good vibes:
Mekons - Where Were You
Subway Sect - Stop That Girl
Half Man Half Biscuit - All I Want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit
The Slits - I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Essential Logic - Brute Fury
The The - Uncertain Smile

His book Head-On/Repossessed is one of the best reads on post-punk available, actually. Highly recommended. More anecdote than summary, but very entertaining. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
