This is a band that I can only imagine coming out of New York. This record is everything I love about digging in dusty bins in thrift stores for records. They sound like...well... kind of No Wave, kind of Jazzy, kind of Post-Punk, kind of Art Rock, and political. I bought this record without knowing anything about the band, or what it sounded like in the grooves. From the opening of Ku Klux Klan on side one, I knew I was going to dig this whole album. There's a charm that jumps out immediately in the jagged melodies and instrumentation, and singer who sounds a little like Tom Verlaine. Favorite track: SR-71 Blackbird.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
