Luna : Superfreaky memories
Suitably, [B]'Superfreaky Memories'[/B] is not exactly a breeze, but certainly represents a bold slice of classically low-key Nooo Yoikist melodramatics...
Dean Wareham (for 'tis he) has most certainly lived a few lives over the past decade. From the tranquil torture ofGalaxie 500 to the glowering grooves of Luna, the man has studiously shunned reality in favour of a shadowy existence where mourning is never quite broken. Suitably, 'Superfreaky Memories' is not exactly a breeze, but certainly represents a bold slice of classically low-key Nooo Yoikist melodramatics, nonetheless.
Tom Waits would surely nod his approval. Time, meanwhile, waits for everyone.
