Kleenex / Liliput: First Songs (Coloured Vinyl 2xLP)

2024 repress of First Songs, a 2LP set of 24 recordings from the legendary punk bands Kleenex and Liliput. First Songs combines all the pre-1982 material, all 3 Kleenex singles, the first 2 Liliput 7"s and all the originally unreleased material prior to Liliput’s debut LP.

"You can't dispute Liliput's status as pioneers of feminist art-punk. Along with fellow travellers like the Slits and the Raincoats, this (mostly) female Swiss group took advantage of punk's anything-goes attitude and created jittery, spirited pop that was both in step with the times and completely singular. The early material is a riot of exuberant energy, taking stylistic cues from peers like Gang of Four and Wire - propulsive bass, skittering pop rhythms, slashing guitars - and adding distinctive overlapping vocal patterns, which are sung, shrieked, and hiccupped in three languages and made- up dadaistic slang. More than 40 years on, it still sounds fresh." - Lisa Gidley
