More madness from folks at Fag Tapes, this time in the form of a nine track tape compiling nine artists who were (and still are) complete mysteries to me. Improvisational minimal psychedelia from K-9 SNIFFLES and THE BIBS, the latter dropping a weird French film vibe in my lap that I can’t seem to shake. A no fidelity live track from WEYES BLOOD flows in to some kind of distant acoustic ramble by MOUNTAINS AND RAINBOWS before ANDREW COLTRANE delivers a damaged layer guitar raga. A deranged grunge dirge from LIVE NOT ON EVIL and then BODY HEAD drops a two chord depression missive. QUILT BOY are the most energetic act on the tape, and their primal garage rock stomp features a guitar that plays chords with such ferocity that it feels like the whole damn thing is a solo….and then THE INTENDED bring your journey to a (merciful?) end with a two minute wash of throbbing harsh noise. It’s not an easy listen, but then…”easy” is not exactly what Fag Tapes are known for.
