I know some of Somic Youth stuff is probably hard to get your head around, and perhaps some of it is hard to listen to, but as far as I’m concerned this is a monster track.
Purr from the album Dirty, which has some images on the inside packaging that raises a few questions.
I’m pretty sure Gimme The Car was on the original release, but Ugly definitely wasn’t.
It took some insane amount of time for that album to reach platinum.
It’s like it sold 50,000 per year every year for twenty years.
There’s some real potential here! Nice early 80’s UK post-punk sound (XTC, Gang of Four, early U2, Comsat Angels, Joy Division etc.) with the vocals recalling the likes of Lene Lovich, Hazel O’Connor, The Waitresses etc.
It’s raw, and it’s early days obviously. Look forward to hearing some more…
Cool, thanks. I think at the moment there’s quite a few emerging there. Inner west of Sydney is where it’s at. Since the lock out laws the center of Sydney has shifted out to Newtown and the like. It’s a pretty cool area
Lecherous Gaze, summed up best from their website…" #1 Rockin’ band in the entire World… Like the prow of a mighty ship cutting through a sea of turd, Lecherous Gaze carry on the legacy of bands like the MC5 and Black Flag to bring dangerously heavy rock back to the masses"
