Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! (1978)

 Devo’s debut album is a groundbreaking work that fuses punk rock, new wave, and avant-garde sensibilities into a sharp critique of modern society. Produced by Brian Eno and engineered by Conrad Plank, the album features a mix of robotic rhythms, angular guitar riffs, and quirky synthesizers that create Devo’s signature mechanical sound. Equal parts absurd and subversive, the album was way ahead of its time, influencing countless post-punk and alternative bands while cementing Devo as pioneers of art rock and new wave.

1978 UK pressing on Virgin. Stumbled across this at a small shop in London a few years ago and couldn’t be happier!
