I don’t know Suicide.
I know. I’m supposed to.
I just don’t.
I know OF them. But I have never listened to them. Which seriously wrinkles my Rock Critic Cred.
This is the first solo record by one half of Suicide.
I always liked his name. It sounded futuristic. Like a character from a Gibson novel.
This music is not that.
It’s what you get if you buy a 4-track and mic from Sam Goody and set up in a basement in the Brittany Hall dormitory. It’s minimalist, sure, but is that necessity being the mother of invention or is this a ground breaking style? My money is on the former.
This could all be one long track and I wouldn’t have noticed.
