Some might see a disconnect between Strawberry Switchblade's image and their sound, but this dynamic is in fact what makes the synth-pop duo stand out from the hordes of bubblegum new wavers that over-saturated the 80s. The duo, consisting of Jill Bryson and Rose McDowall, released their one and only self-titled album in 1985, one that has become a cult classic in both new wave and goth circles. "10 James Orr Street" is one of the darker tracks off of "Strawberry Switchblade", a delicate, mid-paced song that sounds less like twee-pop and more along the lines of Lush's melancholic dream pop.
