Austere synth ice bath from little known German singer Silvia, here. The beautifully sparse backing – restless synths, hand claps and all – was provided by the former German electro/punk experimenter Tommi Stumpff. More than a little cold war disaffection has seeped into the music, and Silvia’s self titled album in its entirety (which you can consumeĀ HERE) makes for something of an alienating listen.

Richard Greenan.
