Product Description

CD Description

This double-disc set collects the complete recorded output of the influential all female post-punk outfit Kleenex. The Switzerland-based group formed in the wake of a Sex Pistols gig in Zurich. After a series of successful single and EP releases for the Swiss imprint Sunrise and British label RoughTrade, legal action by the makers of Kleenex forced the group to change their name to LiLiPUT before disbanding in 1983. This 46-track collection traces the group's evolution froma sprightly punk outfit that blended jagged guitar riffs with tuneful female harmonies to a more avant-garde-minded group whose fractured compositions would influence an entire generation of artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entire catalogue from post-punk rriot grrl pioneers, 25 April 2001
By A Customer
Released on Kill Rock Stars, the label responsible for Bikini Kill,The Frumpies, Sleater-Kinney and hordes of other excellent sounds, an essential reprise of the entire output of LiLiPut/Kleenex (the latter name had to be dropped after intrusion from the tissue manufacturers!). An aural testemant to the 'want-to-play even though we have'nt learned our instruments yet' attitude, it's remarkable how well this stands up. There is a beutiful naivity in these songs that layed down a blueprint for a female punk sound that has rarely been bettered. We had to be content to look at bootlegs priced in the hundreds until now- buy, listen and learn from one of the missing links of independant rock

4.0 out of 5 stars Of Mice And Women, 4 Aug 2007
By Laurence Upton (Wilts, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The new wave period that was concomitant with punk and largely outlived it was one of the richest, freest and most anarchic in the recent history of popular music culture. Along with the Slits, the Swiss-based girl band Kleenex were living proof that music was about creativity and originality more than it was about musicianship. The level of craft in early Kleenex was rudimentary at best, yet the explosion of noise they made was joyous.

Before being forced to change their name, Kleenex completed 10 tracks, four of which are released here for the first time. Their first UK single in 1978 was the exuberant Ain't You, which was backed by the equally eccentric Hedi's Head.

Their grasp of English was less than perfect but they chose to sing in the language for that very reason - hoping that the unintentional meanings and juxtapositions thrown up in the process would create new subtexts and approaches, and express additional freedoms. Often their lyrics would be augmented liberally by squawks and squeaks (a rodent motif runs through their work) and indeed Hedi's Head has not so much a lyric as a series of chord changes in German notation (H/E/Dis H/E/A/D).

Rough Trade brought them over to London to record their second single, the classic You/Ü. Slightly after this point their singer Regula Sing left to join the Mo-Dettes (of White Mice fame) and was replaced by Chrigle Freund. Saxophonist Angie Barrack also joined briefly and following the unwelcome interest of a certain paper tissue manufacturer, they decided a change of name might be in order and became LiLiPUT. This line-up delivered the almighty 1980 single Split/Die Matrosen, augmented here by two unreleased tracks from the session, Hitch-hike and DC-10. A radio concert for Schweitzer Radio DRS, recorded at the Gaskessel in Biel, gives a unique opportunity to hear what they sounded like out of the studio.

By 1981 they were down to a three-piece of Chrigle (now doubling on drums with the loss of Lislot Ha) and founders Marlene Marder and Klau Schiff on guitar and bass. This line up produced Eisiger Wind, possibly their most fully realized recording, and its bizarre flip, When The Cat's Away (The Mice Will Play) with accordion accompaniment, but led to the departure of Chrigle.

Disc one ends with three previously unheard recordings with new singer and violinist Astrid Spirit and the temporary recruitment of two guys on sax and drums. It was particularly good to hear the unreleased material on this most essential first disc after all these years.

The second disc contains their debut LP, Liliput, from 1982, and their second and final album Some Songs, from 1983. Sandwiched in between is their final single You Did It/The Jatz. It shows the band somewhat overstretched here and there and as they became musically more proficient the trade-off of primal energy didn't always work to their advantage, though as they moved more into Raincoats/Essential Logic territory there are several highpoints such as A Silver Key Can Open An Iron Lock Somewhere.

When they disbanded in 1984, Marlene formed a band called Danger Mice. Klau became the respected artist Klaudia Schifferle. I wonder if she paints mice at all?
