Music reviews of 13 13
Music Review: The nightmare continues
Rating: 5 Stars
Lydia always had a Gothic feel to her...and this is her closest to gothic music in sound and atmosphere. Simply brilliant in delivery and atmosphere.
Very dark, very brooding, heavy in a foreboding atmosphere "A secret silence whisper deep in my head slow motion sick until tomorrow rewind erase nothing remains the way that nothing ever does"
It's anry "I love you and she hates me"
"He say he'll be there when I die, to stick a needle in my eye" Lydia screams over clunking drums and grating guitar.
This is one of Lydia's best. Even includes a piano piece called "Dance of The Dead Children" witha surprise crash at the end that made me jump the first time I heard this creepy song.
Highly recommended and brillant.
Description of 13 13
The muse of Sonic Youth and Richard Kern, Lydia Lunch is an awesome performer, sometimes gloomy and provocative. One could almost remember her through her collaborations with those last two ones or with other bands like Birthday Party and Einstürzende Neubauten. But her story evolved differently, and it became more flamboyant, asserting her image as a New Wave icon for the new generations, who have been able to re-discover her through the project Big Sexy Noise in which the rage and the success had an impact on the indie rock scene in 2009. A poetess and a rock writer already honored and known for her « spoken word », half way between the punk, Burroughs, Artaud and other scanned incantations, Mrs Lunch considers 13 13 as true material coming from her New York escape when she got the promise of an endless summer, which in fact turned out to be also disturbing. The souvenir of crimes and bloody rituals were becoming more radical in the Californian coasts during the glamor revival in 1980. Let's mention the heirs of Manson's family and the West Coast tendency of American Pshyco... « Welcome to Hollywood honey, where anything is possible. »That was the dark side of the American dream, a cliché with its over the hill actors and satanic hippies; it was real life observations. Therefore, she was affected with the eyes of a lucid iconoclast who delivered this album during the peak of Reagan's era. This album came out in 1982. It condenses the singer and the piano player's style, an opus lead by a rock voice and an icy lyricism and baroc out of place. The ambivalence of rage and romanticism combined anticipates the works of the two next decades, from The Cure to Hole and a certain Courtney Love and of course Siouxie Sioux. Steven Severin and Murray Mitchell respectively, bass player and roadie in The Banshees appeared on stage whith her, while on tour in 1981. It was just before her second album signed under her name and after Queen of Siam where you could already notice her skilful sensitivity. A delight elates from this album through tragic and epic atmospheres, torn between eroticism and themes linked with social pornography from nowadays. After producing mythic figures from the 80's like James Chance her old accomplice from Teenage Jesus And The Jerks (discovered by Brian Eno) and Alan Vega for the album Sniper co-signed with Marc Hurtado, where the great priestress gives her voice for the title: « Prison Sacrifice », Le Son du Maquis is honored today to have been entrusted by this mission: so to speak, offering the first real reissue of her post-punk master pieces in 1982. It has been done for 13 13, often considered as her best album, it's on CD and vinyl. A project produced under the eyes of the sensible artist, who wanted to stay faithful to the initial soul of this remarquable artistic work of rock culture from those cold years.Alternative Rock CDs
