Second Layer was a post-punk musical act formed in 1979 by Adrian Borland (vocals, guitar) and Graham Bailey (keyboards, bass guitar, drum programming), both of The Sound.
Their first release was the EP Flesh as Property in 1979 through Tortch Records. This was followed by another EP the following year, State of Emergency. The band's only studio album, World of Rubber, was recorded in France. It was released in 1981 through record label Cherry Red Records.
Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote that the band "retained some of [the] feel" of The Sound, "albeit in a slightly detached fashion that's to be expected when synths and drum machines replace more human elements".
