CERTAIN GENERAL Dachau Now

another one of my favorite bands ever ... The New York band's first full-length album was originally released in France only on the L'Invitation au Suicide label in 1984; it finally came out in the United States in 1999. It's very much a record that's emblematic of the post-punk dark ages descending on the underground in the mid-1980s. Funky basslines and mannered vocals (by guitarist Parker Dulany) convey a muted anguish, somber and obtuse lyrics, and not a whole lot of melody.
