dyl45 Such an underrated band. One of the few bands associated with post-punk to be held to the same accolade of idiosyncrasy as This Heat. FIRE

about

Featuring Tim Hodgkinson (Henry Cow, The Work) on Hawaiian laptop noisy guitar and keyboards, Mick Hobbs (Family Fodder, The Work, Officer!) on bass and Andy Wake (Unrest, Work & Play) on drums, The Momes were an unique power trio with an abrasive sound channelling post-punk, psych-prog and avant-rock.

“Spiralling” is their sole album, recorded at This Heat’s Cold Storage studio by Charles Bullen (This Heat, Lifetones) and originally released in 1989 on the Woof label (operated by Tim Hodgkinson and Bill Gilonis).

First ever vinyl reissue of this lost gem, recommended to fans of THIS HEAT, WIRE, SONIC YOUTH, FAUST, AMON DÜÜL II, CAN, MX-80 SOUND, MISSION OF BURMA...

Includes a bonus 7” with two tracks taken from the album sessions (originally released only on CD as bonus tracks). Digital download also includes a previously unreleased bonus track from the same album sessions.

“They mix a kind of driving post-punk rock-lurch with beautiful lyrics, lovely Trout Mask guitar moments and plenty of twisted art-rock details” – Byron Coley

*Bonus 7” with two bonus tracks recorded in 1989.

*Insert with liner notes by Byron Coley and rare photos / memorabilia.

*Remastered from the original master tapes.

*Free digital download card including three bonus track

Ah, considering myself a Robert Wyatt fan, how did I miss this release!? Thanks to Cuneiform Records for another irresistible weekend special and, of course, releasing this in the first place. I especially love the duo versions of the Rock Bottom tracks. Wonderful music! Carsten Pieper

I'm wearing out my tapes, so I'm glad the vinyl is somehow still available. Best album I've heard--any genre--in such a long time. Scott
