"DOES THIS NEXT NOTE GO WITH THE ONE BEFORE? DOES IT EXCITE YOU? DOES IT UNSETTLE YOU?"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on guitarist Viv Albertine of UK punk/post-punk/dub punk band THE SLITS, performing live at Alexandra Palace, London, UK, on June 15, 1980. 📸: David Corio.

"Well, we knew what we didn't want, so that's a good place to start from. We couldn't jam, so when we sort of composed, if you can call it that, we'd honestly think: "Does this next note go with the note before? Does it excite you? Does it unsettle you?" It was unpicking all your habits, lyrically and in our music. So, although we didn't know what we were doing, if any band had done what we were doing, they wouldn't have known what they were doing."

-- VIV ALBERTINE on the band's early sound, "The Guardian," "THE SLITS' Viv Albertine on punk, violence, and doomed domesticity," published June 2014
