Chameleons always need a little promotion. Great musicianship and songwriting.
Classic post-punk.

It's a good album no doubt. I do have a hard time classifying this as postpunk though, as I feel the album could totally have been made had punk not existed.

Yes, when DO we have genre tags on BEA ? Anxious Razz

Anyhow I listened to Second Skin again just to be sure. It definitely borrows the art rock/punk jangly guitars from Television, gothic undertones from the likes of Cure / Joy Division and subtle New Wave synths à la Wire. An album like this before 77-79 seems highly unlikely ?
