The 1981 Listening Post - Art Bears - The World As It Is Today

 Art Bears - The World As It Is Today



#610

1981 Housekeeping

Art Bears

The World As It Is Today

Genre: The Residents as fronted by Yoko Ono. 

1 out of 5



Or Marianne Faithful doing a Yoko Ono impression.

Which is how one describes Dagmar Krauss. 

Which is who is “singing” on this thing. 

My only experience with Dagmar is "Surabaya Johnny" from Lost in the Stars and I found her plaintive overacting perfectly suited to that song. But here I just find her annoying. 

I don’t know why we are covering this. But I’m too tired of 1981 to even argue anymore. 

Atonal and discordant. This has me longing for Klaus Nomi. Or Fad Gadget.
