"Founded by Veronica Vasicka in 2005, Minimal Wave has done the invaluable work of
historical recovery, unearthing an entire subgenre for a new generation. Emerging from
the brief postpunk moment of the late 1970s and early 1980s and created by a loose
network of like-minded musicians in home studios scattered across Europe, Minimal Wave
found the impulses of the early avant-gardes reanimated with help of analog synths."

MW 070 SCENES DE LA BOHEME STANDING IN THE RAIN LP 05.2019
(Note : LP/180 g. , 1000 copies total)
Minimal Wave is proud to present an LP of 6 songs by cult U.K. project Scenes de la
Boheme, entitled ‘Standing in the Rain’. Scenes de la Boheme was formed by Anthony
Waites in London, in 1981 with an innate desire to create poetic, subversive pop music.
Without any intention of ever signing to a record label, he self-released one untitled
7” single in 1982, an edition of 150 copies, with money funded to him by his parents
for his 21st birthday. He often used borrowed synthesizers to record his music in
various bedroom studios and friends’ houses supplemented by his beloved cherry red
Hagstrom guitar. The two songs that he released were ‘Zara’, an earworm of a pop song
about a longed for girl standing in the rain, and ‘The Tale of the Butterfly’. Unlike
many other bands of the time, he never sent the single or his demos to John Peel,
The NME, Beggars Banquet, nor Rough Trade and so it was lost to obscurity until a few
record collectors ‘discovered’ it some 15 years ago. Scenes de la Boheme’s Untitled
7” single continues to fetch exorbitant prices in collectors’ circles so we are
especially happy to be able to make this release available in the form of a newly
mastered LP, which includes four unreleased tracks that Waites had recorded at the
time. The LP is pressed on 180 gram vinyl, as a limited edition of 1000 (499 black
and 500 transparent yellow), and features beautifully restored images of Waites and
his main partner in crime, Seamus Fitzsimmons. The inner sleeve holds Waites’ story,
his musical inspirations and explorations as an Irish youth growing up in London in
the early 1980s and discovering the avant-garde.
