About this album

New Clear Days is a sharp, hook-heavy debut that fixed The Vapors in the early new wave and power pop conversation. Released in 1980, the album balanced brisk guitar writing, nervous energy and tightly constructed melodies, with “Turning Japanese” becoming its best-known song and the band’s biggest hit. Backed by the era’s lean post-punk-influenced sound, the record presents smart, concise pop songs that turn anxiety and social observation into memorable choruses. It remains the album most closely associated with The Vapors and a strong snapshot of British new wave at commercial peak.
