Rexy - Running out of time (1981)

Originally released in 1981 and long since out of print, the singular LP from London based pop duo Rexy entitled ‘Running Out of Time’ for a long time now has been the holy grail for fans of British New Romantic leftfield pop.

Meeting in the heady milieu amongst London’s ‘Blitz Kids’ scene, which in 1979 brought a dash of much needed colour to another wise grim and gray capital – hot on the heels of the election of Margaret Thatcher and sanitation strikes – fashion student ‘Rex’ Nayman and Eurythmics band member Vic Martin formed Rexy after bonding over a shared affinity for maverick pop music and creatively flamboyant DIY clothing fashions.

Running Out of Time (ROOT), was a ten-song LP of idiosyncratic, catchy synth-pop, which was released in 1981. Whilst songs like the title track explore the same territory marked out by the band’s first single, the album isn’t just confined to an intimacy of subdued post-punk. Pieces like the almost instrumental, Nervoso, and Alien display the band’s proficiency at creating propulsive, large-scale pop productions, the songs’ swirls of glistening keyboards and fast-paced hi-hat hits coming across like ‘70s disco outfit Space produced by French pop guru Jean-Claude Vannier.
