About
Almost a decade before “I Touch Myself” made them stars, Divinyls’ first proper LP bottled all their future potential. <i>Desperate</i> is loaded with anxious, energized New Wave that more than lives up to the album’s title. Chrissy Amphlett may play a pouting schoolgirl on the front cover, but she’s all fiery passion in the grooves. Highlights like the hard-charging “Boys In Town” and the zanier “Science Fiction” see the band beat Blondie and Pretenders at their own game, turning acid-tongued lyrics into breathy provocations.
