LUNCH, LYDIA - 13.13 [IMPORT Color Vinyl] - New LP

Recorded in Los Angeles in 1982, 13.13 exists as document to twisting the California Dream into a waking nightmare as a sun stroked paradise turned into a blood soaked inferno of fear, paranoia, and panic. Lush musical textures provided by members of seminal art punks The Weirdos - Dix Denney, Cliff Martinez and Greg Williams create a hypnotic backdrop to Lunch’s evocative vocals and terrifying lyrics.

 

Powerful, deathlike dirges anticipating legions of Gothic/Death Rock acolytes to come with warped, sickly chorused guitars and martial drum displays, topped by the anguished vocals and dark, harrowing lyrics of young Lydia. Descend into the shadowy side of early '80s L.A. despair with this classic release.
