Lost Signals
(Ultra Eczema - UE45) LP $25.00
Bill Nace, John Truscinski and Jake Megansky deliver their fourth sparse, spaced, scratched and creeped-out record, which follows a debut CDR on Audiobot, an amazing tape on Nace's Open Mouth label, and an LP on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace imprint. XO4 uses two guitars and percussion, and they construct a solid paradise of tension between the instruments that is refreshingly non-obvious: an old dog rubbing thousands of little pieces of metal together, a circuit-bent old wooden clock, sensitive guitar-molestation always nearby. Nace also plays in a duo with Chris Cooper (Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase), in Vampire Belt with free percussion's crown prince Chris Corsano, and in Northampton Wools with Thurston Moore. Packaged in a collaged jacket designed by Dennis Tyfus.
