Day 0442 - Cut

The Slits "Cut" (1979)


The Cuts were a punk band who had been part of the Sex Pistols' inner circle, but they only managed to get their first album out after the Pistols' breakup.  They had evolved during that time from their punk origins to incorporate reggae and dub elements, and jittery rhythms.

German singer Ari Up sounds somewhere between Nico and Bjork and the ratty production gives the whole thing a unique and interesting sound.
