I want to check them out. The name keeps popping up on lists, and i figured i better keep up.

I don't even know what they sound like.

Anywhere is a good place to start.

Harry Pussy - What Was Music? (@128)

 

Posted by Awa Loizeaux Zag at 8:14 AM

yeah, start anywhere.

What was music is awesome.

what was music is the best and easiest place to start, as it's probably their most easily obtainable album and covers the most ground as far as their music goes. the live 10" on cherry smash is great if you can track it down too.

amazing band, can't go wrong with them.

yeah, basically go for what was music first, it's the easiest and cheapest to pick up.
if you like that, try and look for "in an emergency you can shit on a puerto rican whore", it is fantastic.
there are also some great bootlegs floating around on dime etc.

Someone uploaded the Tour only 10" in the sonic sharing thread I think. Or maybe I imagined it. Anyway that one rules as does What Was Music. The 10" is more accessible i'd say, mostly because it's not as epically long as What Was Music.

ain't that shit still in print.. i bought that CD not too long ago.. it's ace

thanks:o

While our erstwhile maestro is likely to point out personal involvement in Miami’s Broken Talent or Trash Monkeys as the apex of his twisted musical endeavors, the fact remains that Mark Feehan is most likely best remembered as the “other” cold-blooded string-mangler that shredded synapses through the Siltbreeze era of Harry Pussy two decades ago. While recent years have seen former bandmate Bill Orcutt reinvent the essence of gut-bucket blues, Feehan whiled away the time building an exact replica of an infamous Confederate submarine (the H.L. Hunley) and traveling the world, submerged. During that tenure nestled in Neptune’s realm, he created a masterful album of his own—this very collection bearing his humble monogram. MF is a lively mix of guitar-based compositions steeped in modal harmonics that explode into miasmic, aural waves, transporting emanations of Phil Yost, Magical Power Mako, Michael Chapman and Hans Reichel into the mind stream. Swirling, spacey eddies will open like maelstroms and flood your subconscious, but do not be afraid. That much time under water changes a man. But sometimes it’s for the best. And MF is a case in point. Limited edition of 350 copies. Price as follows; US-15$ ppd Canada-18$ ppd Europe-25$ ppd Elswhere-28$ ppd

sweet news, thanks!

Editions Mego is happy to announce a vinyl reissue of the long out of print and impossibly rare final Harry Pussy album, the monumental ‘Lets Build A Pussy’.
Originally released in 1998 after the band broke up, this has always been an elusive release. “You cannot buy this anywhere and you will never find one!!!”, was what one writer exclaimed. Consisting of an hour long piece of Bill Orcutt time-stretching a second of Adris Hoyos’ voice into a slow shifting drone. A piece of music you will love or hate, with not much for anything in between.
As Alan Licht states in his liner notes:
“Let’s Build A Pussy is a requiem, of sorts; Adris’ opening one-second vocal noise has been variously termed a “yelp” or a “shout” but I prefer to think of it as Bill and Adris’ mutual last gasp, a band death rattle. Put in a computer program, Adris’ protracted utterance becomes, almost literally, “the ghost in the machine”—Let’s Build is something of a late 90s audio inheritor of 19th century spirit photography. Paradoxically functioning as both Harry Pussy’s curtain call and final act, Let’s Build A Pussy is an altogether unique past-tense statement from a band whose members were not immediately going on to solo careers or to other bands.”
Available only in this format .

I liked their early singles but then they moved into an ugly noise direction that seemed less distinctive and listenable

Harry Pussy is best one of my hands down favorites will look into purchasing these LPs as they release

Orcutt's latest, Odds Against Tomorrow, is amazing and unless you're a degenerate you'll dig it whether you come from the Richard Thompson or the noise sides of the spectrum (or, like me, both).

The new Harry Pussy - Superstar 7” looks ACE!
