SLITS - RETURN OF THE GIANT SLITS(RED & BLACK MARBLED VINYL)

Through The Slits' vast sound and global influences, Return Of The Giant Slits feels like an essential reference point for the world of post-punk especially. It feels like without this record, and specifically tracks like ‘Face Place’ or ‘Walkabout’, the world wouldn’t have releases like Talking Heads’ Naked or Tom Tom Club’s work. Through their exploration of worlds beyond the typical punk or rock scene, they dare their peers to do the same.

While this experimental view was undoubtedly set up on Cut, Return Of The Giant Slits is a more polished exploration. There might be fewer hits than on Cut, but this second album was proof that the girls were way more than just riotous kids messing around or one-album wonders with no endurance.

 Instead, it still maintains their raw spirit but is tighter and more focused as the band had more time to figure out who they were, what music they were interested in making, and simply how to make it, play in time, and pull something proper together. (AMG)
