Scritti Politti is a synthpop, post-punk band originating from Leeds, England in the late 1970's. Initially, they were cast as a highly right-winged, post-punk band, but their sound evolved to include heavy pop elements. This development resulted in their UK hit, "Sweetest Girl." Of their five studio albums, Cupid & Psyche 85 provided the band with the most UK Top 20 hits, including "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)," "Absolute" and "The Word Girl." From this same album, their single titled "Perfect Way" made its way onto the US Top 20 charts.
In 2011, the Scritti Politti compilation album, Absolute, was released among rumors that the band would release a new album and continue touring internationally.
