Sense and Sensuality

Sense and Sensuality (1982) was the second and final album by seminal British post-punk band Au Pairs. The four-piece group from Birmingham were very much in tune with the early 80s growth pangs from the first punk explosion – stripping down their music from their debut LP to a funkier, more rhythmic essence, and shifting the focus of their lyrics to the personal rather than the political. Despite only reaching #79 in the UK when first released, it’s now widely seen as one of the best post-punk albums ever.
