A Black Forest



* * * * *

A Frames - Eva Braun


* * * * *

This song is a burning, humid summer day. It's a Minor Threat cassette left in the sun that, despite only being able to play at one quarter the speed, sounds almost better than the original. It's a love song to the wife of one of history's great monsters. It's guitars amplified through abandoned soviet electronics in the desert of Afganistan. It's stoner rock for suburban kids making homeade opium. It's a barren landscape marked only by towering speakers and dead trees.

It's Fred Schneider via William Gibson's Difference Engine. It's Ian Curtis high on Philip K Dick. It's Codeine writing Motorhead lyrics. It's Beat Happening on (more) quaaludes.

Can ya tell I like the A Frames and listen to them all too much?

Thanks for the track. I lost it when a certain famously-manufactured hard drive device crapped out on me.
