Wet Picnic - Balls Up (1982)

     Last but not least we have Wet Picnic off of Unicorn Records in Santa Monica.  The synth on this album is what really sold me, goofy but fun throughout. It starts off with Cocktailed Sky, a nice track about alcoholism(maybe).  Occasionally the vocals feel a bit overproduced, but the goofy new wave jams that pop up keep it on the right course.  And if new wave isn't your thing, Tensions sounds like a sci-fi soundtrack being layered over a folk balad that goes awry.

have fun,

    I always used to dismissed old classic things just because they felt ancient in dinosaur to me and I thought that they could never compete with the contemporary things but after checking this out I was proven wrong.
