Hunters & Collectors

I remember being in Indonesia in 1996 and seeing this video on satellite TV and it BLEW ME AWAY. Vocalist/lyricist/guitarist Mark Seymour is/was clearly a genius and is criminally unknown here but is considered a national treasure in Australia. Super edgy tribal post-punk with horns.  What more do you need out of music, really? To me, this is every bit as good as other, more well-known bands of the time such as Joy Division and Gang of Four.

Years later they had a huge hit with “Throw Your Arms Around Me”… less edgy and crazy than their earlier stuff but definitely an amazing song.
