Bongwater - The Power Of Pussy

This is the most accessible of the four Bongwater albums in my opinion, and it's fuckin nuts. Lots of surreal dialogues over kinda mad psychedelic strumming and percussive noises courtesy of underground legend Kramer. Singer Ann Magnuson is a great lyricist and I'll warn you now, some of these tracks contain 'strong language'.

My relationship with Bongwater began in about 1991 when I got a tape of this album, listened to it like fuck then tracked down a couple of the other ones. Hadn't heard anything quite like it. Very droney, very druggy, go check it oot if you've not heard of 'em.

If you can't be bothered with the album as a whole, go check out 'Nick Cave Dolls' - it's got a long drawn out intro followed by a David Lynch-esque track with whispered vocals and tape loop noises - a good starting point for the band...
