Not technically an album but a single from Cut, and frankly more subversive than most double LPs.
Typical Girls is what happens when dub basslines collide with razor-wire sarcasm and someone decides the whole idea of femininity needs dismantling before tea.
Ari Up sounds like she’s both mocking and reinventing pop in real time. The Slits weren’t trying to be competent in the approved rock sense; they were trying to be free.
The difference is audible - and still bracing.
