for a few years there i was convinced that the country of new zealand had authored the highest apocryphal gospels of indie music in existence, and i was reading them folder download by folder download via someone's irc fileserv

I walked in on the Dead C out of a bright afternoon and there was just this *thing* in the room. No recourse to stage art that I remember, just harsh lights on and a wall of filthy, misshapen (exactly that!) creeping noise. It was perfect, tbh.

My sister is married to a Dunediner. He can be a bit like that Dead C show when he's had a few.

yeah they really had a knack for creating noise that really gives you pause. like, this shouldn't be allowed - people shouldn't be able to make a sound like this - it's not right, it's not wanted in any way, by anyone. and then that bleak feeling becomes drawn out and concentrated and turns into these overwhelmingly beautiful vistas. it's a feeling like seeing something you're not supposed to see and being stirred by it. and here i am, waxing poetic about a band i haven't listened to in more than a decade lol.

Concur you'd like them Sarah. You pretty much start with Harsh 70s reality and the comp on Shock is really good but might be harder to find
