The Austin by way of Sussex (uh, right…) Prima Donnas—Otto Matik, Niki Holiday, and Julius Seizure—took our world by storm in the late nineties with their decidedly nouveau-New-Wave pop anthems. Alas, they are now defunct, but their music has inspired an entire movement in modern music—the now-pervasive retro-synth-pop. Their ‘lost’ tracks have finally resurfaced in this collection of much of their finest material. Favorite tracks: ‘Skin of Another Man,’ ‘Head Full of Pills’
