A monsterous compilation of 7"'s & oddities from a great singles band, and
subsequent NYC-institution: After several years of anticipation, we
finally can actually offer this item for sale (note absurdly low
Atavistic catalog number!).
The Cranks have followed a time-honored route to making great music. Key
ingredients include an upbringing in the laconic midwest amongst the
apathtic; musicology as a way of life; rejection & move to the despicable
confines of the Big Apple; a healthy balance of reverence and disregard
for history; an addiction to the in-the-red VU meter peaks; and
especially, relentless touring pilgrimages across the U.S. and Europe.
The results are obvious: Fanatically careening shows and many killer,
blown-out recordings.
Here's your chance to absorb their humble yet exciting beginnings,
including a suicide cover for the invitation tribute record, a rarte and
remarkable sonic mind-meld with kindred spirits (and Flaming Lips) Wayne,
Mike & Nathan and lots more.
