Somewhere Someone Lost a Voice

 

Taking their name from a classic 1968 Penguin UK Sci-Fi paperback by Eric Frank Russell, Somewhere a Voice was a Ealing, UK post-punk band formed in 1980 that lasted only two years. They released only this one album, Love, Logic, & Ego. 

 

The band consisted of: Graeme Garlick - guitar & vocals; Hilary Dron - bass; Cyril Simsa - keyboards; & David Jones - drums (their original drummer quit before the album was recorded & Jones was brought in as a session musician). Also, for the album, the band added saxophone on three tracks (provided by the single-named Seva).

Their sound is both typical of the 1982-era UK DIY Factory style post-punk & atypical beacase of unique melodic bass playing of Hilary Dron that often follows the vocal lines & the counter melody Cyril Simsa achieved on his Roland keyboard synthesizer.
