One of the more beat driven and song focused bands of the No Wave genre James Chance & the Contortion and a dream. With this in tow they were one of the more accessible bands in the No-Wave era. Like Beefheart, Chance expected his band members to be musically competent. This was disjointed jazz at its best, handled by people fucking it up out of choice rather than necessity.
Paraphrasing Lydia Lunch, No Wave was a marker of the time, an allergic reaction to the pain, poverty and deprivation of that time in NYC. Bands that cite No Wave as a reference and more so those that a copying it directly have no idea of the ingredients that went to create this music. No Wave was sonically can never be recreated but can be emotionally created from similar social situations.
Anyway, listen to this. It’s lovely…
