Ali Thomson tackles the aesthetics of new wave
Released in 1981, this album is a cross between experimental and pop music.
As the title "Deception Is An Art" suggests, this album explores the boundary between fiction and truth in music. Ali Thomson's unique vocal style is fused with the synthesizer sounds of the early '80s to create an intelligent and sophisticated soundscape. This ambitious work has established a unique position within the new wave movement.
