A New Way to Pay Old Debts

by Bill Orcutt

Ending a decade-long musical silence, the former Harry Pussy guitarist returns with a startlingly raw, purely acoustic solo record. Armed with an old acoustic guitar missing two strings, the artist brutally attacks the instrument, delivering jagged, Delta blues-inspired improvisations accompanied by primal, wordless vocal grunts. The unhinged, deeply expressive album became a landmark release for the modern avant-garde and acoustic noise scenes.
