Bill McCarter/Stalingrad Symphony
Secrets/Struggle
Gulcher 414
CD
£6.99
This is a real beauty, an unreleased EP recorded by future Crawlspace member Bill McCarter back in 1978 and featuring future Lazy Cowgirls Pat Todd, Keith Telligman, Allen Clark and Mark McCormack. If you’ve ever thrilled to the bedroom-on-the-edge-of-the-world ambience of those early Flying Nun sides then this discs combination of worn magnetic tape, Lou Reed-styled ballads and unarmoured avant-garage emotionality is the ticket you’ve been waiting for. Secrets is bundled with a 41 minute free-metal jam that originally came out on CD-R on Slippytown in 2001 and features McCarter in the company of various Lazy Cowgirl members, ripping the ass out of rock form in a style that’s somewhere between Billy TK’s Powerhouse and Sonny Sharrock’s Last Exit. Recommended.
