This week’s album of the week is the excellent PART 2 from the wonderful BRIX AND THE EXTRICATED.
Brix Start Smith is an American singer and guitarist, best known as the lead guitarist and a major song writer for British post-punk band The Fall.
Brix left the band in 1989 and went on to have a successful career as a fashion entrepreneur and TV expert. In December 2014 she got together with with former Fall members Steve Hanley and Paul Hanley under the name Brix and the Extricated for a one-off gig – which went down rather well, so it was followed by another, and another, and here we are, the band’s debut album!
I spoke to Brix about it all a couple of weeks ago and you can still hear the interview here.
