Let's Mutate: Vinyl LP w/20 Page Booklet

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Sealed Records
Release Date: 20th March

Featuring a pre-mbv Debbie Googe, Bikini Mutants were a key proponent of the late 70s/early 80s Somerset punk movement, of which, you are forgiven for having no idea about. 'Let's Mutate' pulls together the bands two demos from their short life but this collection features some of the bounciest, dub-inflected, grooved out, proto-indie punk pop you're likely to hear. A real gem. 

Pre-My Bloody Valentine scratchy post-punk perfection with a foot in the anarcho camp.
1982 Demos of angelical music taking each song to pop heaven.

It’s taken Sealed records more than five years to put this release together but finally it’s here. The one and only Bikini Mutants. The Bikini Mutants were from Yeovil, Somerset and part of the All the Madmen world. In their short life as a band they recorded two demos at Monitor Studios, Milborne Port in Somerset in 1982. Let's Mutate collects these two demos on one LP, along with a 20 page booklet featuring photos, lyrics, reviews, interviews and much more. The band played mostly in Yeovil and the West Country along with the Mob and the Review, and even though they were part of the West Country anarcho scene, the sound was a mix of scratchy post punk and indie pop. Members of the band went on to be in My Bloody Valentine and the Chesterfields. The songs are intricate, delicate and engaging with the drums and bass locked in, the fuzzed out guitar weaving on top and Christine Cole’s angelic voice taking each song to pop heaven. Think a mix of Girls at our Best, Au Pairs and the Marine Girls.
