TONGUES - I Really Need To Get My Life Back On Track Before I Cut All My Hair Off LP
$30.95
Highly recommended by Strangeworld.
Like the trickster troll from Billy Goats Gruff and the tragically puzzling Kappa from Japanese folklore, Tongues, Kansas City noisemaking duo, live under a bridge. Sure, it’s a little damp down there, but it doesn’t hinder them from making filthy, absurd proto-industrial tuneage a la Greed /Holy Money era Swans or a slowed down Big Black. Unlike those bands, though, Eric Horn and Dillon Joeckel, the two-pronged attackers behind Tongues, have rooted their music in humour - black, albeit - rather than simply overwhelm the listener with misanthropy and melodrama, if the LPs title I Really Have To Get My Life Back On Track Before I Cut All My Hair Off doesn’t tip you off.
