Ah, Lydia Lunch, the queen of avant-garde punk rock and eternal provocateur. Her latest offering, '13.13', on gorgeous coloured vinyl no less, is a twisted journey through the dark alleys of Lunch's mind.
From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're hit with a cacophony of chaotic guitar riffs, pounding drums, and Lunch's trademark snarling vocals. The opening track, 'Mechanical Flattery', sets the tone perfectly, with its aggressive energy and unapologetic attitude.
Tracks like 'Spooky' and 'Fields of Fire' showcase Lunch's ability to blend raw emotion with ear-splitting noise, creating a sound that is both unsettling and strangely mesmerising. The album's title track, '13.13', is a haunting masterpiece that will leave you questioning your own sanity.
But it's not all doom and gloom. 'The Drowning' provides a moment of respite, with its dreamy vocals and ethereal guitar tones. And 'The Agony is the Ecstasy' is a thrilling rollercoaster ride of sonic experimentation.
Overall, '13.13' is a testament to Lydia Lunch's uncompromising vision and fearless creativity. It may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a wild ride you won't soon forget. So grab that coloured vinyl, crank up the volume, and brace yourself for the madness that is Lydia Lunch.
