Clan of Xymox
Formed in Amsterdam in 1984, Clan of Xymox became one of the mainstays of the 4AD label. Along with label mates such as Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance the Clan’s dark electro-gothic approach to music quickly became the benchmark by which all other bands to follow were judged. Prior to their 4AD days, Clan of Xymox released “Subsequent Pleasures” on their own label in a limited run of 500 vinyl copies. Their self titled debut, released in 1985 on 4AD, was highlighted by the club classics “A Day” and “Stranger”. In 1987, the band was included on 4AD’s popular “Lonely as an Eyesore” compilation with “Muscoviet Musquito”, as well as releasing their darker follow-up CD, “Medusa” and the 12 inch “A Million Things”.
