In keeping with my physical condition follows now a small, subtle but interesting work, and there may have been few published records of the Clowns' musical wanderings in the Eighies, but their mark remained and remains indelible on the Greek underground music scene. Founded in 1981, the band consisted of Yannis (vocals), Elias (guitar), Poupeta (keyboards) and Vagelis (drums), and of more artistically (and not purely musically) restless spirits who made it through their intelligent compositions, their special lyrical inspirations and their overall aesthetic ethos have managed to occupy a special place in the domestic alternative music reality. Both songs on this beautiful 7Inch are based on those conscious, artistic, expressive digressions and move mainly in dark tones. They're two of the era's finest sonic moments, while also highlighting the shame of the band's lack of further released work. In particular, these tracks combine all the necessary components to form two catchy blends of intellectual Post-Punk/New Wave demonstrations. What remains: a nice release by a remarkable group that disappeared so ingloriously without meaning, but in 2012 came a re-issue via Eirkti in a limited edition of 400 hand-numbered copies. They are even featured on some Compilations. Back to bed and get quick healthy.
