ESG, ”Dance,” Come Away With ESG (1983)
Another band associated with the ultra-hip early 80s New York No Wave scene. Four African-American sisters from the South Bronx with little musical training and no hipster pedigree to speak of decide to start a band. They figure writing their own songs is a good move because people won’t be able to hear if they’ve made mistakes. And then they make music like this. Amazing. And punk as all fuck.
This is minimal, spooky dance music that has no antecedents, but which somehow fits with what was going on in New York at that time. Clearly there was something special in the air. Or water. Dance!
