Apathy by Liechtenstein

If Stalking Skills reminded you of The Shop Assistants or The Fizzbombs then the new single Apathy by Liechtenstein is going to have you in further raptures! This time the band go back further and take their inspirations from girl and girl fronted bands from the post punk era.On both sides of this 7" I can hear the likes of Girls At Our Best, The Slits, The Mo-dettes and Dolly Mixture. Apathy is a slow song with some beautiful harmonies and vocals that by the songs end simply engrosses you.However it's on Security By Design that stands out here for me. It's simply sublime over it's two and a bit minutes with it's fusion of pop, reggae and a bit of Tijuana brass thanks to the Mexican sounding trumpet. A choice "cut" (The Slits pun is intended!) Listen to Apathy here.
