The band gained early attention opening for Talking Heads on their 1978 tour, with David Byrne remaining a supporter as Rouse transitioned into New York’s experimental scene, where he connected with figures like Arthur Russell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStory Of The Year\u003c\/em\u003e draws from recordings made during this shift, combining earlier Tirez Tirez material with later sessions produced in New York and Brussels. Released in 1982\/83 on Les Disques Du Crépuscule, the album reflects Rouse’s early use of system-based composition within a band format, incorporating layered rhythms and phase-based repetition that would later inform his role in developing totalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePositioned between Kansas City and New York, and between post-punk and contemporary composition, the record captures a moment before Rouse’s work fully moved into more overtly compositional territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndies only metallic silver vinyl version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiving In This City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDarkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Is New York\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInside Albany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStory Of The Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere Ain’t Nothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Numero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54201943359834,"sku":"NUM821LP-C2","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1481\/5374\/files\/tirez-tirez-story-year.jpg?v=1779812141","url":"https:\/\/freebirdrecords.com\/products\/tirez-tirez-story-of-the-year-coloured-vinyl","provider":"Freebird Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
