Hello, I Must Be Going!

A percussive, embittered exploration of divorce. Gated reverb drums meet Motown soul and dark synth-pop in a record that trades vulnerability for pure defiance.

November 1, 1982 · WEA

A sharp, percussive exhale of resentment and newfound independence.

Moments Worth Listening For
The menacing, double-tracked drum entrance of I Don't Care Anymore that sets a tone of pure confrontation.
The sudden shift from the dark voyeurism of Thru These Walls into the bright, almost jarring Motown sunshine of You Can't Hurry Love.
The expansive, jazz-inflected instrumental sprawl of The West Side showcasing technical precision amidst the emotional wreckage.
