John Bender – I Don’t Want To Talk About it / I Don’t Remember Now

cadilliac margarita   1/17/2020   12-inch

Home Recordings from 1978-1980 by the prolific John Bender while living in Cincinnati. Tracks are labeled by number based off various catalogue positioning (i.e. Cassette 31, Side A, Track 4). Everything about these lo-fi synth bangers with manipulated robotic but entertainingly nonsensical vocals was DIY. The 1980 original release came with sleeves individually hand-designed by Bender, and put out on his own “record sluts” label.

Re-released here on limited edition red vinyl by Superior Viaduct in 2016.
