The Jumbo Sound of Mudhead<\/em> 7″
\nSelf-Released, 1988<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Spinning the recently released Captured Tracks compilation of\u00a0mid-80s proto-indie rock, Strum & Thrum, The American Jangle Underground 1983-1987<\/em><\/a>, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Kansas City area\u00a0represented with a track from The Bangtails\u00a0which\u00a0made me\u00a0feel the need to call out the long lost haunted\u00a0postpunk of The Bangtails-related band Mudhead. Anchored by the driving drumbeat of The Bangtail’s Archer Prewitt (The Sea & Cake, The Cocktails) and the off-the-rails wailing of fellow Kansas City Art Institute student and Nebraska punk luminary Mott-ly<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0a dense swirl of dual guitars and hypnotic basslines, this droning 33rpm single comes off as the\u00a0unpredictable\u00a0midwestern\u00a0cousin\u00a0of NYC no-wave\u00a0pioneers Live Skull amped up with the unnerving intensity of a band like Of Cabbages and Kings,\u00a0lit with a\u00a0goth-tinged hue of Burning Image-style death rock.\u00a0Tinnitus-tainted readers may appreciate this deeper peek into the festering KC underground that also produced the much more accessible Bangtails.\u00a0If the single catches your ear, be sure to\u00a0check out\u00a0a live version of “Eleutheromania” taken from the 1988 Live in Lawrence<\/em> compilation where Mott-ly “knocked satellites out of orbit\u2026 screaming like Elmer Fudd being raped by a werewolf on a bad acid trip” as\u00a0an\u00a0astute alt weekly writer once wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n
