RELEASE DATE

Reissue, originally released in 1980. After the demise of
Teenage Jesus and the Jerks
,
Lydia Lunch
launched her solo career with
Queen of Siam
, arguably her greatest LP. In true No Wave style, the album is a mishmash of irritants, but her palette is far broader here, lurching from slow dirges, excessive feminist exhortations, and raucous personal purges to a touch of disco and lounge music exoticism, as conjured by
Voidoids
/
Lou Reed
guitarist
Robert Quine
,
Contortions
bassist
Jack Ruby
, and
John Cale
's drummer,
Douglas Browne
. Spirited, surprisingly broad, and defiantly dissonant,
Queen of Siam
's dense layers were designed to provoke and inflame; listen closely to fully decode. Red vinyl.
