Former lead vocalist of legendary punk band X-Ray Spex, Poly Styrene released her first solo album “Translucence” in 1980. The album is a jazzier, more subtle work than the material of her former band.

The critically acclaimed "Translucence" is a testiment to the talent and versatility of the artist. Unavailable on vinyl for nearly 30 years, the album features Poly’s gorgeous singing, supported by the supple, jazzy arrangements. It's not as aggressive or confrontational as her work with X-Ray Spex, but just as rewarding.
