The pinnacle of post-punk with a deep bass groove.
A single by The Stranglers, "Nice 'n' Sleazy" features a dark bassline and icy vocals that clearly showcase the band's unique style.
"Nice 'n' Sleazy" is dominated by a smooth bass line, showcasing the hard rhythmic feel of the post-punk era. The guitar and keyboard sounds intertwine, creating a unique sensuality amidst the coldness. The vocals proceed calmly in a subdued tone, while maintaining a sense of tension. The B-side, "Shut Up," develops a rougher sound, highlighting the live feel of the performance. The recording is sharp, with a strong low-frequency drive, realistically capturing the London sound of the time. This album is both intelligent and aggressive, and symbolizes the individuality of the band's post-punk era.
