MLP / Smartguy Records / 2013 (1983)

lim. edition 500 copies

" For the last few years, San Francisco’s Smartguy has been spewing
forth wonderfully intense minimalist Australian DIY post-punk records by
the likes of Total Control and Rat Columns. Safe to say, the label is
on a really serious roll, and with the release of the rather obscure
Division Four’s highly sought after 1983 demo tape, they are truly the
go-to outlet for this stuff. The Perth-based band released these six
songs on cassette before sadly fading in to obscurity—which is a true
shame, as the quintet’s dryly recorded, throbby, dubby, paranoid, synth
attack is at once horrifying and breathtaking, and makes one wonder what
other kinds of sick monstrosities they could have recorded had they lasted. A truly engaging slide into a much darker
psyche. Fans of Screamers and Crisis (UK) take serious note."
