ShelleydevotoName of the collaboration between former Buzzcocks musicians Pete Shelley and Howard Devoto, teaming up for the first time in twenty-five years. The album Buzzkunst was released in 2001 on Cooking Vinyl, along with one single/video, 'Til The Stars In His Eyes Are Dead. Disappointing compared to their previous work, Buzzkunst still shows elements of the fire that lit Luxuria and Magazine, notably a fixation with some of the same lyrical concerns. A krautrock/electro feel, particularly on the opening track Can You See Me Shining?, is likely Shelley's major contribution. "Needed a better producer" is perhaps the kindest summary. Note that some sources confusingly call the band Buzzkunst; though this has the aesthetic appeal of symmetry it is incorrect. Links: label page
