Ex, The: Tumult (Vinyl LP)

Emerging out of Amsterdam's vibrant squat scene in 1979, The Ex – a name chosen for the ease and speed with which it could be spray-painted onto a wall – have for four decades been an entirely self-sustaining musical entity, charting a course through the global underground with a spirit of freedom and radical exploration.

Originally released in 1983. Music of malcontents, rebellion and impotent rage about everything that is wrong in this world. But they’re quite aware themselves, too, that reality is not always black and white. What they lack in pure originality, gets compensated by their passion and devotion.

In a time during which many of their contemporaries have switched their brain off, the primeval music of The Ex sounds really beneficial.
