He had released his debut solo record, the three song EP This is Your Captain Speaking, in November 1981 on Crass Records. The producer of Women and Captains First, Tony Mansfield of synth-pop band New Musik, had previously produced The Damned's Friday 13th EP, also released in November 1981.\n\nSensible recorded demos of four of his songs with Mansfield, who then gave them to his manager who took them to A&M Records. He shares, \"I got a solo deal with A&M on the strength of a few tunes The Damned had rejected for being too melodic.\"\n\nFor Sensible, Women and Captains First was a musical departure from The Damned's blend of punk, rock and psychedelic rock influences. and reveals, \"Mansfield wasn't into the psychedelic guitar thing. He was into pop. I wanted his '80s synth pop production on my records.\" https://tinyurl.com/3jm7synu", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550129, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550129/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T17:34:47-07:00", "show": 64501, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64501/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia600602.us.archive.org/8/items/mbid-2e754b0e-3a72-424d-a7dd-4c98b9db4e96/mbid-2e754b0e-3a72-424d-a7dd-4c98b9db4e96-33098495547_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia600602.us.archive.org/8/items/mbid-2e754b0e-3a72-424d-a7dd-4c98b9db4e96/mbid-2e754b0e-3a72-424d-a7dd-4c98b9db4e96-33098495547_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Better Now", "track_id": "843fd106-3b0d-4bf6-88bc-a417d9e9b5d5", "recording_id": "0a49821f-0231-4a6b-9bcb-6f1b791c4b38", "artist": "ODESZA feat.

In memoriam of their bandmate, the other two reunited in 2021 to release archived demos and rare footage in the form of a tribute video. The band then began their reissuing project, releasing older versions of their previous records.\n\nThe reissue project allowed Chase and Durand to discover previously unreleased demos and tapes left by Schlesinger in their Rhode Island Studio, per a press release. “The world thought IVY was gone after 2012, and for a time we did too,\" shared Chase. \"And after Adam’s death in 2020 it seemed certain... So Dominique and I are thrilled to give everyone a brand new IVY album, with our beloved Adam playing on every song!\"\n\nAll songs feature fragments recorded by Schlesinger during the IVY period. The band's keyboardist and backing guitarist Bruce Driscoll also joined to go through the archives, rework the old material, and bring the original trio back together on Traces Of You.\n\n\"You can imagine how terrible it's been to lose Adam,\" Chase added. \"The only silver lining is that we could breathe life into these songs that he contributed to and it was a great experience making this record happen.\" https://tinyurl.com/2v9ysv9z", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550118, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550118/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T16:58:52-07:00", "show": 64501, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64501/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3550117, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550117/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T16:55:48-07:00", "show": 64501, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64501/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia601406.us.archive.org/11/items/mbid-48ccfc65-04ab-39fb-86e1-4ef0eef30520/mbid-48ccfc65-04ab-39fb-86e1-4ef0eef30520-1916136930_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia601406.us.archive.org/11/items/mbid-48ccfc65-04ab-39fb-86e1-4ef0eef30520/mbid-48ccfc65-04ab-39fb-86e1-4ef0eef30520-1916136930_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Just Can't Get Enough", "track_id": "c77541e4-6a6f-3d2b-b141-1f9110b289a2", "recording_id": "b4002abd-f47a-4db7-8002-0727fc2052db", "artist": "Depeche Mode", "artist_ids": [ "8538e728-ca0b-4321-b7e5-cff6565dd4c0" ], "album": "Speak & Spell", "release_id": "48ccfc65-04ab-39fb-86e1-4ef0eef30520", "release_group_id": "7a0e0366-91f4-3444-b45a-83b158004165", "labels": [ "Sire Records" ], "label_ids": [ "be0fec81-5c18-4494-8bbf-0d81dec006bf" ], "release_date": "1987-06-02", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Released on this day in 1987!\n\nDepeche Mode founding member and keyboardist Vince Clarke wrote this synth-pop landmark. Musically, it was inspired by \"To Cut a Long Story Short\" by Spandau Ballet, released in 1980. To that point, Clark wasn't into dance music, but the Spandau Ballet song turned him around.\n\n\"It was the first time I was actually impressed by a rhythm that went 'boom-thwack, boom-thwack,'\" he told Rolling Stone in 2000. \"It was the first time I discovered dance music for myself, and to write a song around the rhythm was quite a revelation for me. 'Just Can't Get Enough' came out of that.\"\n\nClarke had just turned 20 when he wrote this song, which turned out to be the last one he wrote for Depeche Mode. He left the band after the Speak and Spell album was released, later joining Yaz and Erasure. The \"Just Can't Get Enough\" video is the only one he appears in.\n\nEarly Depeche Mode, under the direction of Clarke, had a more upbeat sound. In a Songfacts interview with Vince Clarke, he explained: \"Martin Gore writes in a different way than I do, so that's obviously the main difference. And they've developed this kind of a rock feel to their music. I'm more a fan of pop music, or I'm more of a fan of writing pop music, that's the most difference, I guess.\" https://tinyurl.com/yc2a3vn7", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3550115, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3550115/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-09-07T16:52:16-07:00", "show": 64501, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/64501/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://ia600408.us.archive.org/22/items/mbid-a74ba4cf-1218-45c6-993a-f6e48695d56b/mbid-a74ba4cf-1218-45c6-993a-f6e48695d56b-42023244396_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia800408.us.archive.org/22/items/mbid-a74ba4cf-1218-45c6-993a-f6e48695d56b/mbid-a74ba4cf-1218-45c6-993a-f6e48695d56b-42023244396_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Just Like a Flower", "track_id": "138ff538-01c3-4683-b042-51b85c03260a", "recording_id": "38ed1356-b13b-49e5-b825-f5d2c7f57ae3", "artist": "Winter", "artist_ids": [ "7e8d8cfc-8ac6-47d5-836c-40d729c766d1" ], "album": "Adult Romantix", "release_id": "a74ba4cf-1218-45c6-993a-f6e48695d56b", "release_group_id": "32c45e0e-0cb6-42ba-b20f-9bfb3d3000af", "labels": [ "Winspear" ], "label_ids": [ "76320af7-a39b-4b71-8fa8-c56437f2909d" ], "release_date": "2025-08-22", "rotation_status": "Light", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Playing Barboza in Seattle on October 11th and Cafe de Nord in San Francisco on October 14th!\n\nWinter shares, \"This song captures the essence of daydreaming in your bedroom — a place where limitless imagination and inspiration can exist.\n\n\"It ties back to memories of writing songs in my old bedroom in Echo Park, CA.
