From ‘Slates’ one of the key Fall releases on their long and varied existence, ‘Leave The Capitol’ is an intense, electric throb upon which Mark E. Smith’s lyrics sit. It feels totally improvised and together at the same time. Hearing this in 1981 was a bit of a revelation. It feels forward -looking, but also trapped within the sum of its parts. MES’s voice as unrestrained as it gets, corralled within an effervescent broadside of garage band ballyhoo.
