Scratching my skull to recall how the name Bill Nace is familiar to me, luckily before I reached my brain the answer that he plays in Vampire Belt with Chris Corsano prevailed. Oh dear! We have a poorly Business Lady and a slightly hung over Phil and it would appear that Nace's feedback is not agreeing with them. Oh yeah he's scraping away here and tranmitting some weird tones. Anyone that digs the unorthodox approach to the guitar should check this out. Oh fuck me when he lets rip he really goes for it!!!!!! CLANG!!! GRrrzzzazazzaza... Cooooorrr.... 200 hand numbered copies.

8mm 039: BILL NACE ‘TOO DEAD FOR DREAMING’ ONE SIDED LP
Debut vinyl album by contemporary electric guitar wizard Bill Nace, ‘Too Dead for Dreaming’ begins in the form of a deconstructed blues piece, slowly exploring the territories of atonal composition, string–scraping and feedback, crashing all these styles in an instinctive, personal way. His affiliations with X04, Northampton Wools and Vampire Belt converge here in a unique flux.
Bill’s ability in creating sounds, follows a clear logic of ‘construction of tension’ that eventually explodes into pure sonic mayhem (part 2) then switching the attention from your blowing ears into new, obscure tonalities, with a spectral meditation that develops in the last part of the album and mirably closes the circle. It’s all here: one man, one guitar. A bulldozer.

Limited to 200 copies , hand printed and numbered.
