LP / Dark Entries Records / 2012


Dark Entries is proud to shed light on underground Belgian New Wave
pioneers, SIC, with the career-spanning release “Thought Noises.” SIC
were a post-punk band from the industrial city of Charleroi in the
francophone part of Belgium. They were formed by Francis Pourcel, Alain
Neffe (Bene Gesserit), Micheline Dufert, and Mario Berchicci in 1977. Francis and Alain had previously played with Krautrock band Kosmose in the mid 70s. In 1978 Alain left the group to launch the cassette label Insane Music.
The new trio released their debut 7” “Voltage Control” in 1979 on
Artibano Records. By 1980 Mario left and was replaced by a Korg KR-55
drum machine. As a duo, SIC self-released the “Cover Girls Smile”/
“Between” 7” in 1980, which was played by John Peel on Radio 1 in
London. Unable to replicate the studio sounds for live concerts, the
duo recruited three additional musicians, Wilhelm Dunker (bass), Henry
Krutzen (saxophone) and Danièle Daoust (synthesizer). In 1981 their
final 7” single, “Free Radio Stations” was self-released and the band
recorded a demo tape to help secure live gigs. SIC continued to play
live over the next two year but eventually broke up in 1983. 
SIC stray from more conventional post-punk, mixing the affordable
Korg MS-20 and Roland RS-09 synthesizers with jazz and funk elements.
All three 7”s and demos are united by strong, watery Rickenbacker bass
chords reminiscent of American jazz legend Jaco Pastorius and UK bassist
Mick Karn (Japan). A heavy reliance on rhythm and Micheline's strong,
insistent voice give SIC its own moody personality. More of a European
group than a Belgian one, SIC take cues from Magazine, “Live At The Witch Trials”-era The Fall, Delta 5The Raincoats and Kleenex. Their lyrics are original and autobiographical, documenting commercialism, technology and communication as we enter the 1980s.
"Thought Noises" compiles all three SIC 7" singles released from
1979-1981 plus 6 unreleased demos from a 1981 recording session. All
songs have been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios
in Berkeley. Each LP includes a lyric sheet insert. More than 30 years
later, SIC are a document of a mutant strain of new wave ripe for
discovery.
