The Stranglers’ sharp 1984 blend of post-punk, pop, and slick melodic hooks — one of their most polished albums.
The Stranglers – Aural Sculpture
Format: Vinyl
Label: Epic Records
Year: 1984
Released in 1984, Aural Sculpture shows The Stranglers evolving into a richer, more melodic sound while retaining the edge and intelligence that defined their earlier post-punk work. The album features fuller arrangements, brass sections, and sharp production, marking a confident shift into mid-80s sophistication.
Highlights include the standout singles “Skin Deep,” “No Mercy,” and “Let Me Down Easy,” along with deeper cuts that reveal the band’s growing musical range and lyrical bite.
Notes: Originally issued on Epic Records and notable for its iconic cover featuring giant public-address speakers arranged like a sculpture.
A great pickup for collectors of post-punk, new wave, and The Stranglers’ expansive 80s catalogue.
