Rather than 'Indie' per se, Bas Jan for me are a throwback to the v.late70s/v.early80s variety of female-fronted post-punk, specifically The Raincoats musically (esp vocally), but also The Slits aesthetically (look at the cover of 'Back To The Swamp' next to The Slits' 'CUT'). That said, while these touchstones initially attracted me (being a pensioner an' all, lol), I remain mostly unconvinced by the overall songwriting and delivery, but I'm going to give them a other chance and listen to the whole album - minus any wine-induced nostalgia ≖‿≖

Re. Life Without Buildings: I've always seen them as a 'jury's out' band...permanently out as they never truly had a chance to follow up on all that promise...don't get me wrong, I still like to listen to them once in a while and enjoy the experience but it leaves me slightly frustrated somehow.
