Door, Door, the debut album from Australia's Boys Next Door, came out on Mushroom in 1979, and it's a snapshot of Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, Tracy Pew, Phillip Calvert and Rowland S. Howard before they turned into something much scarier. The band cut it before decamping to London in 1980, where they renamed themselves the Birthday Party and made the records they're best remembered for.
Next to that later racket, Door, Door is a lighter, poppier affair, less doom and more nervy, angular post-punk with a sharp melodic edge. "Shivers" is the one that lingers, a queasy slow-burner that hints at the darkness to come.
