1. The Ebony Tower - Junky
2. She Walks Crooked - Queer
two slabs of literary harsh noise wall from the ebony tower and she walks crooked, fixated on the works of
william s. burroughs.
"
junky" was the first piece of burroughs' writing that I ever read and it definitely left a lasting impression on me. his depiction of heroin addition in early 1950's new york is graphic and enthralling. originally published as a trashy pulp novel by
ace books under a pseudonym but once "
naked lunch" became a hit, it was reprinted under burroughs' real name.
"
queer" was originally intended as a companion piece to "junky" but wasn't published until much later for a variety of reasons - controversial subject matter, unknown writer, etc. - but was finally released in 1985.
I'm a big fan of
the ebony tower, so I'm excited to be able to share this split with
she walks crooked, with whom I was previously unfamiliar. each side of this tape is a brutal, unrelenting wall, designed to obliterate all distraction and unnecessary thought.
and they do just that.
copies are still available and surprisingly affordable, so don't miss out.
