Title: Warm Leatherette - the 1978 song that helped start industrial, synthpop
Post by: Administrator on January 02, 2023, 08:36:23 PM
"Warm Leatherette" is a song by Daniel Miller's project the Normal, released in 1978.


THE NORMAL - WARM LEATHERETTE




The lyrics of "Warm Leatherette" reference J. G. Ballard's controversial 1973 novel Crash, which had heavily influenced Daniel Miller. Together with his college friend[who?] he had worked on a film script based on the book, but after the project was abandoned Miller decided to "write a song encapsulating [the script] in 2 and a half minutes". The song was recorded in Miller's apartment using two Revox B-77 tape machines. A series of sawtooth waves were recorded on a Korg 700S synthesizer.

Miller took the record to a few independent music shops, including Rough Trade in London, where it would be played to customers. "Warm Leatherette" was released as the B-side to "T.V.O.D.", the only single by Miller's musical project the Normal, and the very first release on his Mute Records label. However, since it was "Warm Leatherette" that gained more public attention, it was featured as the lead song on subsequent single re-releases. Although Miller did not expect the single to be successful, it sold 30,000 copies.

The single was an early example of industrial and synth-pop music, emerging on a wave of numerous electronic pop experiments of the late 1970s in the UK. It has since been described as having "revolutionised electronic music with its punk aesthetic, stark sound and dark subject matter" and has been covered by numerous artists. The song is featured in the 2020 American horror film Antebellum.

By the warm fireplace
Warm fireplace

Ring the jingle bell
Sing the first noël
Ring the jingle bell
Sing the first noël

The cheer of Santa
Reverberates on high
Your chimney is waiting
To welcome the guy
Quick, let's eat the cookies
Before we die

By the warm fireplace
Warm fireplace
Join the holidays
