The four-piece group from Birmingham were very much in tune with the early 80s growth pangs from the first punk explosion - stripping down their music from their debut LP to a funkier, more rhythmic essence, and shifting the focus of their lyrics to the personal rather than the political.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe addition of horns and imaginative synthesizers allowed for more satisfying sonic diversity, from the disco-informed dance-punk of “Instant Touch” to the cabaret swing of “Tongue in Cheek”.  While “That’s When It’s Worth It” takes several elements of popular post-punk - looping auxiliary percussion rhythms and a sporadically used horn section - and crafts them into a wild sound that’s equal parts dance, psychedelia, punk and art pop.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTheir distinctly punk take on sex and gender politics, meanwhile, was their strongest thematic strain - and that’s truly where Sense and Sensuality shined.  Despite only reaching #79 in the UK when first released, it’s now widely seen as one of the best post-punk albums ever.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSense and Sensuality is now available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on translucent magenta coloured vinyl and contains an insert.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mostly Music Store ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54747551859033,"sku":"14003","price":29.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/3004\/4761\/files\/57_028fd8ba-8d0f-4e04-8145-fec7110edf78.jpg?v=1749996691","url":"https:\/\/mostlymusicstore.co.uk\/products\/au-pairs-sense-and-sensuality-lp-album-vinyl-record-reissue-numbered-silver-180g","provider":"Mostly Music Store ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
