Bikini Mutants - Let's Mutate LP

It’s taken Sealed records more than five years to put this release together but finally it’s here. The one and only Bikini Mutants.

The Bikini Mutants were from Yeovil, Somerset and part of the All the Madmen world. In their short life as a band they recorded two demos at Monitor Studios, Milborne Port in Somerset in 1982. "Let's Mutate" collects these two demos on one LP, along with a 20-page booklet featuring photos, lyrics, reviews, interviews and much more.

The band played mostly in Yeovil and the West Country along with The Mob and The Review, and even though they were part of the West Country anarcho scene, the sound was a mix of scratchy post punk and indie pop. Members of the band went on to be in My Bloody Valentine and the Chesterfields. The songs are intricate, delicate and engaging with the drums and bass locked in, the fuzzed out guitar weaving on top and Criss Cole’s angelic voice taking each song to pop heaven.

Think a mix of Girls At Our Best, Au Pairs and the Marine Girls.
