v/a - death scene in cries and whispers

an inspired compilation coming from los angeles underground label tears of joy, which operates with a considered breadth of styles and interests: live jam dance music, harsh noise, uk soundsystem post punk/dub culture, rugged indie rock, etc., and with a presence on local venice radio station 99.1fm. all of this and more is present here, with properly pressurized cuts from live for each moon and city illusion, and some of the finest hooks in the entire catalog appearing via snake, liquid letters, and tony in particular. a completely uncynical, refreshingly off-grid, and focused group of artists. recommended!
