Naked City – Torture Garden
Naked City
Torture Garden
Label: Shimmy Disc
Catalog Number: shimmy 039
Released: 1990
The Boredoms first gained attention in the U.S. after New York label Shimmy Disc (Bongwater, Half Japanese, Velvet Monkeys) compiled the group’s ridiculously erratic noise-punk-metal songs onto an album called Soul Discharge. A yowl heard around the world, it roared through the New York experimental scene before denting the eardrums of John Zorn. Teaming with Eye, Zorn gathered a crack band that included Wayne Horvitz, Fred Frith, Joey Baron and Bill Frisell to create Torture Garden. A wildly powerful single album that features 42 short song-bursts, only three of them last more than a minute. Eye spins through the album like the Tasmanian Devil, wrecking everything in his path. Note: This record will not relax you.
