THE NECESSARIES were a short-lived NYC power-pop band formed in 1978 and best-known retrospectively for the contributions of Arthur Russell and Modern Lovers' bassist Ernie Brooks to the line-up. EVENT HORIZON was the band's final LP from 1982 which remained out of print and famously elusive until this 2017 re-issue from @bewithrecords. An essential part of any Arthur Russell collection, but also a criminally overlooked classic of the new-wave era. For fans of jangly 80's guitar-pop in the vein of early R.E.M and The Feelies. #thenecessaries #eventhorizon #arthurrussell #bewithrecords (at Beatdisc Records) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBAQ_keBEnl/?igshid=13aidyfzmjton
