Description
Available late May 2009 and issued as an edition of 500 copies. Packaged
in a heavy book bound LP sleeve with 180 gram vinyl. Warning: not recommended
for listening in buildings without earthquake retrofitting: Nadja?s doom-fuzz
may crack foundations and/or reduce nearby objects to jelly. However, Nadja,
here performing a quartet of solo Aidan Baker covers, maintains a certain
melodic balance within the throat-clearing guitar lurches which levitates the
heavy, like the most graceful pterodactyl-flying-off-with-a-dead-baby-Icthyasaur
you have ever seen. Especially when his voice cuts in, the low-end maraud
transforms into a sweet continuo that seems like stoner-metal chewing on 4AD?s
ear. A grinding thump into the clouds which proves there ARE beautiful
uglies.
