Description
Reissue, originally released in 1980. After the demise ofTeenage Jesus and the Jerks,Lydia Lunchlaunched her solo career withQueen of Siam, arguably her greatest LP. In true No Wave style, the album is a mishmash of irritants, but her palette is far broader here, lurching from slow dirges, excessive feminist exhortations, and raucous personal purges to a touch of disco and lounge music exoticism, as conjured byVoidoids/Lou ReedguitaristRobert Quine,ContortionsbassistJack Ruby, andJohn Cale‘s drummer,Douglas Browne. Spirited, surprisingly broad, and defiantly dissonant,Queen of Siam‘s dense layers were designed to provoke and inflame; listen closely to fully decode. Red vinyl.
