R. Stevie Moore - Delicate Tension

Release Date:06/11/2013;Notes:Vinyl LP repressing of this 1978 album from the godfather of lo-fi rock. Delicate Tension is regarded as an absolute highlight of RSM's massive discography and was featured as one of his six most essential albums in the Wire's recent cover article. R. Stevie Moore's first album upon moving to New Jersey and immersing himself in the burgeoning New York new wave scene, 1978's Delicate Tension is quite a leap from 1976's Phonography, both in style and execution. Where Phonography has a definite progressive rock feel, Delicate Tension is dominated by short, punchy power pop rockers.;Track List:1. Cool Daddio;2. Delicate Tension;3. Schoolgirl;4.
