This album is seriously the soundtrack of my life. There’s absolutely NOTHING else that compares! All hail Queen Angelyne! 🩷 Favorite track: Sex Goddess (Dance Mix).
On May 3rd, LA pink goddess Angelyne’s neon-draped sophomore album “Driven to Fantasy” will be available once more on Angelyne Pink vinyl, in stores and online, in partnership with Dark Entries Records as part of the label’s 15th anniversary.
Angelyne, a voluptuous blonde, is a self-made icon who drives a pink corvette. A series of billboards popped up in the LA area featuring the name “Angelyne” along with a mysterious femme fatale posing provocatively. The campaign created an instant stir worldwide, making her the first icon who was "famous for being famous," and it led to the recording of her second solo album, “Driven to Fantasy.” The album features 8 tracks of bubblegum-hued new wave with a distinctly LA flavor. On sexy titles like “Sex Goddess,” “Skin Tight,” and “Flirt,” Angelyne fuses the glam and grit of southern California punk with flashy, sexy synth-pop style. This will be the first time that this cult record will be in print since its original release, on Hot Pink vinyl with a bonus 2-sided poster featuring lyrics. Angelyne is more than just a billboard queen or a rock star; she’s a movie star, a visual artist, a painter and even a political candidate. Celebrate a worldwide legend with this historic release.

After 're-listening to "if I gave you a party" on thé Anti-NY comp (on Gomma) i was curious about what else was available. Dark Entries to the rescue!!! Perfect for those out of hand house parties or just yr own debauched dances. Now, where did I put my spandex outfit? catch_demann

Great release, important document of an lost era and an essential piece in an artists catalogue, but also totally timeless listen for anyone into atmospheric long and slow electronic jams. Jere Dangerous
