The Dodgems: Lord Lucan Is Missing (1980)

Brighton, UK's The Dodgems (more HERE) 2nd Atrix Records single from 1980 is another cool splicing of futurism and retroism. "Lord Lucan Is Missing" features a churchy organ sound, a quick tempo and tremendously hooky use of repetition, while "Got To Give It Up" examines nicotine compulsion in an arty, yet witty and catchy, way.


(This is an alternate take of the LLiM, I believe.)

As soon as you hear the spooky keyboards, intermittent saxophone, clever lyrics and neurotic vocals on this single, you'll know you're in late seventies new wave space here:

Brighton, UK's The Dodgems (Charlie Zuber drums, Gary Turner, bass/vocals, Doug Potter, guitar/ vocals, Paul Birchal, keyboards),  who put out two singles on Atrix Records in the late seventies, did this new wave style with a cool mix of futurism and retroism.
