Not a massive fan of lists/ top10 this and that, but Sulk ⁦@_theassociates_⁩ is up there with anything anyone has ever done. A constant companion for forty 😳years. Alive and kicking

“Party Fears Two” evolved into the first song recorded for @_theassociates_’s classic third album, Sulk, becoming their sole Top 10 hit and signature song. ow.ly/UEfW50IVbsZ
