Dexys Midnight Runners-Searching For The Young Soul Rebels (1980)
Posted in Post-Punk on May 2nd, 2009 No Comments »
The cult of Dexys Midnight Runners, and this album in particular, were worshipped as the return of “soul” to English rock music at the dawn of Thatcherism. This is vibrant, alive, and unconcerned with perfection. Rowland takes a role that Morrissey would have in 1985 and Jarvis Cocker in 1995 — the unexpected but perfect voice to capture a time and moment in the U.K.
