Ike Yard
1982
On vinyl comes an unreleased album from early '80s US cult outfit Ike Yard. Comprised of Stuart Argabright, Michael Diekmann, Kenneth Compton and Fred Szymanski, Ike Yard sat between the sinewy proto-body music of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the shattered grooves of their No Wave peers in New York! This is dangerous music, gliding along the brink. The album features a live photo of the band by Makoto Iida and includes an insert with liner notes from Stuart Argabright. '1982' is essential for fans of post-punk and caustic electronics from Liaisons Dangereuses to Beau Wanzer.
