Second Layer (London, UK) is really a side project from Adrian Borland and Graham Bailey of The Sound. I know I got the reissue of "Jeopardy" in 2011, but I have zero recollection of the background of said acquisition.
I learned about Second Layer a couple of weeks ago when I was scrolling through the label 1972. I was buying the Felt 2 LP bundle from Stranded and I was perusing the label. I listened to Second Layer and appreciated their electronic post-punk sound. Frankly, Second Layer reminds me of the excellent new Osees album.
Well, Stranded is at it again. You can get the 2 LP bundle of Second Layer for a mere $30 (only available until midnight tonight). "World Of Rubber" is the other LP, but there isn't any music available on Bandcamp. But, it is available on YouTube.
Stranded mentions that Second Layer have a lot in common with Suicide. I would add Joy Division to the comparison.
