Based in Minneapolis, Têtes Noires explored folk-pop with a trio of mid-'80s albums that focused on socially conscious songwriting and gorgeous three-part harmony that recalled the days of the folk revival over 30 years past, although a drum machine did provide one concession to technology. Recording for Rapunzel Records, the group released a self-titled debut in 1983, with American Dream following on its heels one year later. Moving to the appropriately folky Rounder label, Têtes Noires recruited <a href="spotify:artist:5VlujeJlkf1SEspNUbdhq8">Brian Ritchie</a> and Victor DeLorenzo (from Midwest heroes the <a href="spotify:artist:0rpMdBzQXf7aYRnu5fDBJy">Violent Femmes</a>) for the production of 1987's Clay Foot Gods. The album proved a disappointment, much more commercial than the first two LPs. ~ John Bush, Rovi
