Shape-shifting post-punk quasi-legends Bourbonese Qualk are finally getting a bit of the shine they so richly deserve after years in obscurity, not least thanks to the retrospective compilation on Mannequin back in 2015. Now Platform 23 are reissuing their classic album -Laughing Afternoon, originally released back in 1983 and having lost none of its impact. Its a slippery, shape-shifting creation that veers between uneasy soundscapes and gutter-dwelling funk, with some truly visionary signal processing, electronic textures and more besides in the mix. Its a crime this crew arent held in the same regard as their other early 80s post-industrial peers, but at least the wrongs are being righted now.
