| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Lydia Lunch, Pat Irwin, Michael Paumgardhen, Jim Sclavunos, George Scott III. | | Lydia Lunch, member of defunct late-70s punk/no wave band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, was known for an extreme, often confrontational style. In between Teenage Jesus and the beginning of her solo career, she formed 8-Eyed Spy, a band that took the cacophony of her first band and made it more palatable with elements of post-punk and funk. Skronking saxophone and pounding basslines define this collection, with 15 tracks of Lunch's off-the-wall sing/speak style, one that would mature into the erotic/atonal bent that defined her solo career. On songs such as "Run Through the Jungle," it's clear where post-feminist bands such as Huggybear and Heavens to Betsy culled their inspiration. A chilling voice punctuates a background of circular bass notes and jangly guitar amidst subtle cymbal-driven rhythms. Seminal stuff. |
| | Artist Overview | | Lydia Lunch is a self-described "confrontationalist" and that concept has informed all of her many artistic endeavors through the years. Beginning with her seminal early-1980s no wave group Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Lunch has produced some of the most caustic, aggressive, and challenging art imaginable. She has collaborated with a host of underground luminaries including transgressive filmmaker Richard Kern, novelist Hubert Selby Jr., and rockers Sonic Youth, Nick Cave, and Henry Rollins, among many others. While she's is still identified most frequently as a musical figure, Lunch's primary form of artistic expression has for many years been the spoken and written word. |
