The Door And The Window – Detailed Twang
Out of stock
$30.00
“The early recordings picture two young punks following the D.I.Y. ideal to the letter to produce horribly shaped songs and noisy experiments from a guitar, a cheap synthesizer, and makeshift percussion. On the other hand, the LP presents a slicker incarnation of the band, with drummer Mark Perry anchoring the songs. Nag and Bendle’s writing is still chaotic, provocative, and profoundly punk — in fact, probably too punk for punks. Nag squeezes the strangest melodies and accompaniments from his wasp synthesizer and the lyrics rebel against everything — including punk fashion. Perry adds some screeching sax solos (in “Sticks and Stones,” notably), pushing the music toward the avant-garde, reminiscent of Lol Coxhill’s collaboration with the Damned. “Dads,” “He Feels Like a Doris,” and “Detailed Twang” remain clever songs that run circles around anyone’s expectations. Declamatory and over-simplistic like early Fall (“Part-Time Punks” only has a square drum beat to back up the amateurish vocals), noisy, and unruly, the music of Door & the Window makes more sense now in the light of college noise rock bands than it did back in 1979.” – allmusic.com
