About this album
La Folie is a sharp, distinctive album that showed The Stranglers widening beyond their early punk reputation into darker, more melodic territory. Released in 1981, it blends new wave drive with post-punk tension and a stronger sense of arrangement, making room for songs that are leaner, stranger and more accessible at once. The album’s best-known moment, Golden Brown, became one of the band’s signature recordings and helped bring them a wider mainstream audience. Across the record, The Stranglers balance cynicism, wit and precision, creating a work that remains central to their catalogue and to early-80s British rock.
