Karen Cooper Complex

Bill says :
We refer to it as "Analog Music from a Lost World" — previously unreleased post-punk experimental rock from 1981, unlike anything else recorded before or after.

Jason Sigal, Managing Director at WFMU said:
"This is amazing stuff and we would be honored to feature it in wfmu's curated portal on the free music archive. I'm very sorry for our slow response, we have a lot of stuff to wade through to find gems like these."

Chi’en is an 80 minutes long psychedelic trip that feels like a single unity moving forward. In this second album almost all the musical threads of the band are deepened; It’s more hypnotic and repetitive, noisier and more dissonant, somewhat more abstract and at the same time more folk although there are less ambient/drone/free jazz parts than in Vesprada. It’s a record of extremes, from nude moments to walls of dissonance and harrowing noise with a psychedelic production that has tons of layers, sounds and instruments thrown in for good measure.

Askeemal

Jared says :

This album is heavily influenced by proto-punk and post-punk(but no so much punk itself). I guess the briefest description would be "experimental, DIY, rock/punk with lots of falsetto", or something more like "the shit scraped from the sides of my skull". Divided into the three parts, the first part is my initial discovery of this, lighter and more blatantly aware of my absurd and silly demeanor. Second part is much more lo-fi, recorded with a four-track tape recorder rather than digitally. The last part is back to digital, and much more "serious" sounding. These descriptions are pretty bad, sorry.
