Necessary listening

How is it that I only heard of The Necessaries a few days ago?! You'd think enough people who love Murmur or early Talking Heads or any smart New Wave pop would've championed these guys a long ago. I'm shocked that the Arthur Russell (keybs and vox) curators haven't been all over this, especially since it's a such a different context for his special genius. At any rate, I'm happy to do my part. If you're a fan of any of the aforementioned, go find their Event Horizon record. I wonder if the cover was done by same guy who did Crazy Rhythms or if there was just something about that shade of blue in the early '80s.
