Soft Cell: Frustration

Track of the Week - 29 October 2023

This is about football so if you're not keen on football just go down to the video link and hit play.

Swindon were at home to Gillingham this week and the away side were set up in a very defensive-looking 5-4-1 formation and when they took the lead in the 22nd minute it was easy to see that they were going to be hard to break down.

Over the next hour and ten minutes or so it was a frustrating evening of crosses blocked, crosses cleared, headers missed and good saves. Gillingham even missed a penalty on their way to a 1-0 win. Heigh-ho.

Leeds' synth-pop duo Soft Cell's Frustration isn't about a home defeat on a damp Tuesday evening but rather a massive midlife crisis. It's the opening track from their tremendous 1981 debut album, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.
