You probably know already, but a member of Sonic Youth played on this. Have you tried their first few albums? They are much closer to this in sound.



Also:

Check Swans [2]

Teenage Jesus and the Jerks / Lydia Lunch

Rhys Chatham (another Branca associate)

Savage Republic

This Heat

I'll say that if you like this, you'll (probably) like Rhys Chatham's Die Donnergötter.

This album is a nexus point for so many of the innovations that would come in noise/noise rock and underground guitar music, yet still feels so fresh on its own. Glenn was really a visionary.

really can’t believe it’s 1981 but it kinda makes sense, it’s like classical

Album cover's how they'll be dragging me out of the Glenn Branca concert hall when the title track comes on.

Spotify's saddest omission. Very annoying that I have to keep this loaded on my phone to listen to it.
