Company of State - Company Of State

Seven inch vinyl repressing of this rare Belgian classic electro new wave single from 1983. Influenced by a wide array of artists (such as Joy Division, Velvet Underground & Edith Piaf) the duo Rudolf Hecke & Paul Taes formed the band Company of State and recorded their self-titled debut EP on their self-founded label in 1983. Best described as: wild guitars with all kinds of feedback and distortion combined with a heavy bumping rhythm-box in the background... and once the vocals kick in you get that melancholic magic that makes this EP a true classic.
