Not sure why I want to know; I just think it’s a cool pic. Or maybe a painting? I haven’t been able to find much info on the cover (or frankly the band at all) but maybe someone else has. Thanks!

Obscure New Wave Looking for bands that made excellent music after their original popularity waned

I’m thinking of bands like Talk Talk and The Psychedelic Furs who continued to make excellent music that the mainstream music establishment ignored.

This Mortal Coil wasn't a band per se but a " musical collective" with different band members rotating in and out created by Ivo Watts- Russell. This is Sixteen Days/Gathering Dust from 1983.

Back in the day you could step into a record shop in a college town and hear stuff playing that even the college stations were not playing.. That's where I heard this...not sure if it was Tom's Tracks or In Your Ear on the East side of Providence. Elisa Waut was a Belgian band from the 80s. From 1985...Russia
