The third HYGIENE single comes in the form of this two track record released on time for Record Store Day. Limited to just 398 copies and hand stamped. A-side 'Things that dreams are made of' is a cover of the HUMAN LEAGUE. They turn the track into a sparse and desolate slice of dysfunctional post punk that sounds like a mix of CRISIS, ALTERNATIVE TV and WARSAW. The flip 'Fixed odds betting terminal' is more upbeat and sounds like prime FALL from 1978. It has the sound, the energy, the recording and the attitude. two perfect songs on the perfect format.
