psychedelic-tinged grunge rock he helped pioneer and takes an uncompromising confessional jaunt through loneliness

The difference between the two clusters of work birthed at Rockfield has its roots in discrete approaches to the studio process itself

such as the keyboard on icky thump or the horns on conquest

Parquet Courts have always seemed like an incredibly hip band

JOHN BENDER - I Don't Remember Now / I Don't Want To Talk About It LP punk psychedelic-tinged grunge rock he helpedI Dont Remember Now I Dont Want To Talk About It, Benders first album from 1980, is the holy grail of minimal lo fi electronics. Layers of fractured melodies, distorted synthesizers, hollowed out rhythms and claustrophobic vocals unfold over the 40 minutes of this lost masterpiece. Its A Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl, one of Fausts greatest songs, is perfectly deconstructed by a distinct punk meets experimentalist sensibility.
