Positive Touch

The Undertones

A sophisticated pivot from teenage punk to nervous new wave. Jagged guitars, piano accents, and Feargal Sharkey's signature quaver in a more contemplative light.

May 4, 1981 · Ardeck

A nervous, melodic restlessness that feels like growing out of your hometown.

Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected piano flourish that brightens the nervous tension of Fascination
The way the guitar hook in His Good Looking Girlfriend feels both urgent and strangely polite
The sudden, sharp brass stabs that punctuate the rhythm on the title track
