Sally Smitt and Her Musicians – “Hangahar” – [Drag City]

humana   1/22/2012   12-inch, Soundtrack

Listening to this and trying to imagine the film to which it is supposedly the soundtrack is not easy. What did come to mind were comparisons with music that has arisen from KFJC musicians during various Night Pits over the past year or two. Released originally in 1980, this album contains two sidelongs featuring Sally Timms (Mekons) and Lindsay Lee crooning unintelligible, almost ritualistic vocals with a weird background of musical experimentation. Side B has a bit more percussion than Side A.
