On this episode of The New Wave Music Podcast, Steve and Don take a listen to the latest albums from two legendary artists who helped define the sound of the ’80s. First up is Haircut 100 and their new album Boxing the Compass, a long-awaited return that finds the band bringing back their signature mix of infectious melodies, funky grooves, guitars, horns, and sophisticated pop. They also take an in-depth look at Midge Ure’s A Man of Two Worlds (World Two: Songs), exploring the latest chapter in the Ultravox frontman and solo artist’s remarkable career and seeing how these new songs measure up against his impressive catalog.

And in Music News, we’ll check out the darker new Soft Cell single, hear what DEVO’s Gerald V. Casale has been up to, and talk about Sparks finally releasing their first-ever live album. Plus, we’ll check out the new single from Susanna Hoffs, along with the latest from Save Ferris.
