[1983]
A surprising unknown synth country jam. Outlandish synth and twang in a new wave country folk style with a classic rock lead break. The tune is probably influenced by Wall Of Voodoo. Makes me wonder why nobody in the Hypnagogic scene ended up going down this path. This could have been the national anthem for synthwave country. Maybe there's a micro-genre that I just don't know about.
*Virtually no info about this guy on the interwebs. This is the only video of Ron Robert's on youtube. He's not on Discogs or Rate Your Music but NTS has one sentence on him which tells me he self released this in 1983. I'm guessing he had an album called Elaine or single of which this was the b-side. Who knows? Then there's the unknown lady singing, who is she? The whole thing could even be fake. It's kinda cool to be this mysterious in the oversaturated digital information age.
