Deception Bay - Fortune Days [IP034 USA 1991 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Bruce Licher's Independent Project Records are one of the most collectible American labels from the eighties and nineties. Very few of their releases ever found their way across to this side of the pond, here is one rather special release which did. Deception Bay were a post-punk/coldwave band from New York who ultimately moved to California and found a home on IPR. Fortune Days was a ten inch album comprising their earliest recordings in 1984 and 1985. Their stripped back, post-punk sound comprising solemn bass lines, thumping drums and guitar drone is very reminiscent of early Section 25.

It is literally impossible to access the vinyl without inflicting some sort of damage...
