PINK SECTION was a short-lived synth-punk band with Dadaist aesthetic by 4 students of San Francisco Art Institute in 1979/80. This first-time retrospective LP collects the band’s rare 1979 single, the self-titled EP, unreleased demos, and live materials

Carol and Judy went on to form the Inflatable Boy Clams after Pink Section split. The bass and sax player Matt makes mechanical music and sound installations nowadays.

Since his previous EP the music of Orlando Furious moves forward from junk pop toward electro rubbish. It’s relished with a little hip-hop. And he is still better than Xiu Xiu.
