Further Information

‘Dark World’ collects together choice material from Normil Hawaiians’ formative early years of 1979-1981. Tagging along with the band from their peppy post-punk origins (so brilliantly debuted on ‘The Beat Goes On’) into the looser, dubbier territories that laid the foundations for the group’s landmark album ‘More Wealth Than Money’. ‘Dark World’ gathers the group’s energetic 7” singles on Dining Out and Illuminated Records, their metamorphic ‘Gala Failed’ EP (Red Rhino) and a lively last-minute Peel session from 1980, alongside outtakes, rarities and demos.

Staff Recommendations

Dark World documents Normil Hawaiians’ punk-fused formative numbers from 1979-1981. Free in sound, structure and sentiment, Normil Hawaiians lay the groundwork for their multifaceted experimentations to follow in these songs.
