New Wave Goth Electropunk--Songs Of Art

New Wave Goth Electropunk--Songs Of Art is Avril Franklin's debut album, released in October 1997 (S01E06).

The album was self produced and took a month to record, using a Tascam Portastudio. It mainly features dissonant piano lines with crashing drums with some vocals on it occasionally.Avril recorded it at Scoop Doggy's house during late August-mid September 1997, shortly after she recovered from tuberculosis. Scoop contributes a rap verse in one of the tracks.

After the episode's airing, a giveaway was held where 60 could win an actual copy of the album with full tracks and signed by Avril's actress Jenny Huxley-Golden. It was reissued in 2017 and released to streaming. During promotion for the reissue, show creator Keith Brumpton revealed that Huxley-Golden improvised the entire idea of her character's musical endeavors, including creating the album herself. This was confirmed by her and multiple other cast members shortly after.

Album info
Avril touted the album as two albums in one. One side is the 'New Wave Goth Electropunk' suite, and the other side is the 'Songs Of Art' suite.

Both feature extremely dissonant piano lines and crashing drums, with Avril doing vocals on it. They are of surprisingly good quality, as (in real life) Huxley-Golden actually recorded it on a Tascam 8-track cassette recorder and sent it in to Brumpton in September 1997.

In the series, Avril released it herself, although she created a fake label name: Oscar Rules Records, to the bewilderment of Oscar Cole. When it was reissued in 2017, it included the dialogue spoken before Avril demoed her track to Oscar in the beginning of the episode before the album's music begins. Certain copies included a 1080p MP4 file of the episode the album featured in.
