subterranean. sub 5 / 2 tracks / 1980

1500 made.

Art punk from San Francisco; this is one of the records that took a few decades to grow on me. On the A side they sing about “dealing with addiction” over a completely warped disco beat with weird analogue electronic effects - quite interesting. The B side is weirder and more aggressive, with a confused no wave/DNA/Mars edge and tribal drums. This is definitely an acquired taste, but I find it more convincing than some of the so-called no wave “classics” from NYC. [6]
