Bringing Home the Bait

As central figures in the abrasive New York City noise rock scene alongside Sonic Youth and Swans, this debut full-length offers a uniquely tense, psychological take on urban dissonance. 'Bringing Home the Bait' relies on highly intricate, intertwining guitar feedback and relentlessly driving, tribal percussion. The gloomy, scraping sonics perfectly capture the claustrophobic anxiety and creative decay of downtown Manhattan in the mid-1980s.
