Amos & Sara : Sara Goes Pop


After leaving the Homosexuals in 1981, the man of hundred pseudonyms, L.Voag (aka Amos) went into a creative overdrive, releasing about a dozen of solo/collaborative albums in the first half of the eighties, mostly ultra-rare hand-made cassette-only releases. For this one (and a couple more of cassette and vinyl e.p.'s) he teamed up with singer Sara and, as the title suggests, this may be their/his most accessible work and a good place to start investigating. Following this link you'll find a more recent very helpful and wonderful interview with Sara about those, but also more recent times. Just scroll down to fanzine #3 and find a download link. Great stuff,don't miss it! Amos is completely original and not sounding like anybody else, comparable only to early Residents in approach & excellence. Coloured-vinyl double 7" in hand silk-screened cover, later (or was it first?) released also on cassette with a lot of added material. Glorious lo-fi. Amos was also  a member of the excellent Die Trip Computer Die crew. Finally, here is an archive save of a rare in-depth explanatory interview with the man himself about all things Homosexuals, solo, and everything else.
Note: There is a similar post to this with some interesting rant, but no music.
