Artist Spotlight

Magazine

Manchester post-punk band combining Howard Devoto’s cerebral writing with tense rhythms, keyboards and adventurous guitar.

About the Album
#

Secondhand Daylight is regarded as one of the most sophisticated records of the post-punk era.

The album refines the angular art-rock of their debut Real Life, with Barry Adamson’s bass lines and Dave Formula’s keyboards creating a more cinematic and atmospheric sound.
