Review: Simple Reality cements the brief yet impactful legacy of Coventry DIY group Skeet, emerging from a scene of first-generation punks and 2 Tone kids. Formed in 1981 by Gary and Nigel Meffen, Skeet fused tightrope instrumentals with a Roland CR-8000 under projected visuals. After a cassette of their debut performance reached Kay Booth at Inferno Records, she added her own vocals, becoming the frontwoman with her shy delivery and open-diary expressions of social alienation and romantic rejection. With as few as ten shows, Skeet's unnerving minimalism was recorded in a suburban home studio, borrowing equipment from Toby Lyons (The Colourfield) and Jerry Dammers (The Specials). Despite record label interest, the band silently disbanded, leaving their music unheard for nearly four decades. Brief Call resurfaced in the Coventry Music Museum's compendium Alternative Sounds Volume 1, followed by a limited pressing on Chris Long's Almost Unknown imprint in 2023. Simple Reality offers a definitive snapshot of these neurotic post-punks, with newly discovered instrumental multitracks and a live recording of their final performance atop a trailer in a pub beer garden. Mastered by Skeet fanatic Mikey Young, this release adds three new tracks and a more energised take on 'Left On the Shelf's' apathetic electronic-pop.
