“Spring In Fialta” by Slow Children

"Spring in Fialta" turns up on the self-titled debut by American new wave band Slow Children, but only in its American form. The US pressing ran its own track list under a cover of Robert Mapplethorpe photographs, while the British edition wore a sleeve adapted from Jean Cocteau's The Blood of a Poet and left this one off.

Andrew Chinich and Pal Shazar wrote it and share the vocals. Stephen Hague and Jules Shear produced it and play on it too, Hague on synthesizer and bass, Shear on guitar alongside Chinich, with Dave Scheff rounding out the credits. It's a sleek bit of synth-lined new wave from a band whose debut came in two different shapes on either side of the Atlantic.
