Brenda Ray ‎- D'Ya Hear Me! : Naffi Years, 1979-83 LP

Highly recommended collection of Brenda Ray’s sweet post-punk meets reggae songs! Sounds nothing like lovers rock, but is somehow filled with just as much or even more love and heart.  2023 Edition! “A year-round collection of summery breezes..” “Sweet post, with a heartfelt reggae/funk influence, analog dub effects and lovely femme-vox. A unique slice of late-70s/early-80s goodness, starring Brenda Ray, whose previous release on EM Records, Walatta, has been embraced by a large number of listeners. Recorded in North West England, D’Ya Hear Me! is warm-hearted, open, fresh and slyly experimental” The music of Brenda Ray and her Naffi Sandwich crew sits firmly within the late 70’s/early 80’s UK post-punk meets reggae scene (Vivien Goldman, The Slits, Raincoats, Adrian Sherwood), but somehow manages to sound completely removed from it and in a world of its own. The tracks are sweet and authentic, recorded in a simple home-made studio in North West England, away from London and the media
