Carnival Crash New York, New York
Carnival Crash was a relatively short-lived band whose members scattered into a veritable Who’s Who of New York post-punk
bands: Swans, Live Skull, Ritual Tension, Chavez and others. Their legacy of recordings, most of which were never released are compiled on “It Is A Happy Man”. Listen.

I bought the 12 inch single for Bela Lugosi’s Dead at Fred’s records in St. John’s, Newfoundland in the eighties and it remained a treasured item in my collection until it was lost, left behind, stolen, loaned out, whatever. I accepted that that item was lost to time and likely irreplaceable. Hence my utter shock to see that I will once again hear this evocative masterwork on vinyl along with an extra three tracks. I recall Boys was included on the B-side of that long list single. Thank you!

Situationist coldwave from France that is deliciously icy, high-drama vampire vocals colliding with icy synth & guitar.

Did follow them from the beginning (thanks to John Peel... r.i.p.), now I did realise , that I did not listen carefully enough to the last one, they are still great, even after more than a three decades pause. Check them out. Their debut is for me top 10 ever... ;)
