Hex Enduction Hour is the fourth studio album by the English post-punk band the Fall. Released on 8 March 1982, it builds on the low-fidelity production values and caustic lyrical content of their earlier recordings, and features a two-drummer lineup. Frontman Mark E. Smith establishes an abrasive Northern aesthetic built in part from the 20th-century literary traditions of kitchen sink realism and magic realism. Smith described the album as, in part, a satirical but deliberate reaction to the contemporary music scene. Recording for Hex, initially intended as the group's final album, began during a 1981 three-concert visit to Iceland. The Fall recorded "Hip Priest", "Iceland" and the non-album single "Look, Know" at the Hljóðriti studio in Reykjavík, and the remaining tracks in a disused cinema in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Its cover art was seen by many in the music industry as coarse and lacking accepted layout or typographical qualities; HMV would only shelve it back to front. (Full article...)
