Episode 135: Martin Fry, ABC

25 min • 7 mars 2023

As I realised about a third into this episode, where I connect with pop genius Martin Fry of the immortal ABC, you don’t really interview Martin Fry but listen to Martin Fry. And that’s fine. If you wrote Lexicon of Love, the Sheffield band's classic debut album, I’d shut up and listen to you too. I think there’s plenty of insight into that classic record in what follows mind, as well on as the band’s origins, their philosophy, the influence of punk on the seismic creativity of the 1980s pop scene, David Bowie… all sorts of good stuff, and all in advance of the band’s release of the group’s forthcoming live album, Lexicon of Love Live, recorded in their home city in said record's 40th year, which arrives on April 28th on Live Here Now Recordings. Woah woah woah!
