Synth pop trio Bronski Beat's 1984 debut The Age of Consent is a rarity in musical history - an album that both defined
a generation and challenged the status quo. Its four singles, and particular lead single 'Smalltown Boy', have endured
with astonishing resonance, offering home to all listeners dreaming of escape from their familiar surroundings and
situations.
Every track on the album places the listener 'in the room': they are in it, living it, rolling inside each song's thematic
meaning. Through the blue-eyed wonder of singer Jimmy Somerville's vocal pirouettes, they too take the punch of hate
in 'Why?', question the bible with alongside a male voice choir on 'It Ain't Necessarily So', and watch the same crappy
TV advertising on 'Junk'. They are part of the trade-off between lust and commerce in 'Love and Money' and the heated
near climax of 'Need A Man Blues.'
40 years later and The Age of Consent remains as prescient and vital as ever as it did on its original release; truly
transgressive - defiant, queer, and laden with hooks. To celebrate this important anniversary, London Records revisit
the album across a series of expanded formats, uncovering sonic archival gems, new mixes, essays and more.
