Vanishing from public view following his 1979 departure from Siouxsie and the Banshees, John McKay spent the 80s in quiet studio sequestration, fulfilling the end of a Polydor contract through a string of angular, post-punk sketches with early Banshees drummer Kenny Morris, bassist Mick Allen and, later, Matthew Seligman and Graham Dowdall. While some of the material aired under the name Zor Gabor - a short-lived live outfit fronted by McKay’s partner Linda Clark - this record instead takes the musician’s given name. A lone single, ‘Tightrope’, crept out in 1987 via Marc Riley’s In Tape; the rest sat dormant until 2024, when McKay’s later wife Laurie helped revive the archive. Now compiled and mastered as Sixes And Sevens, this eleven-track set cracks open a lost chapter, working through a buzzing art rock temperament, juiced on a jackknifing punk rock spirit pulled, pulped, and spread to the edges.
