LUCYS - Flowers To You (Detour OFFTB 023) London 1979-81
Good, skittering/minimal, mostly female-vocal Delta5 postpunk. The Lucys had actually turned up first as a band for Messthetics - with a Peel session and a good, rough-and-ready rehearsal tape. The latter tracks sound more like the Lines: among those are/were a couple even stronger songs but the vocals were badly buried... It emerged that they'd recorded an entire, never-released LP, and then Dizzy discovered their first demo and, well, here you are!
John Peel gave'm a session a played it twice, opining, "This band must be signed up!" Cherry Red said maybe, but then dropped them and nothing more was heard - til now.
