TURK KNIFES POPE-MAD DOG, CD, 1997, USA

These accomplished and largely overlooked Long Beach, California drone merchants both predate and surpass much of the mountain of work of a similar stripe thats accumulated in the years hence as The Drone has assumed primacy in many avant quarters. Drone is as drone does and iterating what distinguishes Turk Knifes Pope from their peers would have to begin with the sonics themselves, which are by turns buttery rich and tartly astringent, febrile with harmonic excitation, warmly enveloping (if emotionally unsettling) and beautifully produced with strafed layers of harmonium wheeze, string scrape and electronic burr rippling across the cilia of your ear canals like the sexiest sandpaper ever.
