Living in Darkness is the debut album by the punk rock band Agent Orange, released on Posh Boy Records in 1981. The album showcased the band's innovative mixture of punk, surf rock and skate punk, and was also listed in the "10 Best Skate Punk Records of All Time".
The original album consisted of eight tracks. In 1992, it was expanded to include three unreleased tracks from the album sessions ("Pipeline", "Breakdown" and "Mr. Moto") as well as the 1979 recordings that won them their Posh Boy contract ("Bloodstains", "America", "Bored of You" and "El Dorado"). A 1981 interview and liner notes written by guitarist Mike Palm were also included in the reissue. In 1988, Agent Orange recorded an as-yet unreleased version of the album, titled Living in Total Darkness.
Three songs are covers of classic surf instrumentals: "Pipeline" by the Chantays, "Miserlou" by Dick Dale and "Mr. Moto" by the Bel-Airs.
"Everything Turns Grey" was featured in the 2001 film Freddy Got Fingered. "Bored of You" was featured in the 2013 open world video game, Grand Theft Auto V, on the Channel X punk rock radio station.
All songs written by Mike Palm, except for where noted.
