Post-Punk Monk Dives Into David J’s Attic

A recent feature on Post-Punk Monk really digs into Tracks From The Attic, the new three-disc collection of cassette home recordings made by Bauhaus and Love & Rockets founder David J, exploring not only the music but the exquisite packaging as well as the multiple formats on which it’s available. According to the Monk, “The songs themselves consist of 34 tracks recorded onto demo cassettes by the artist himself with [mostly] the simplest of accompaniment from the years 1984-2004. A twenty year period that saw David flexing his songwriting muscles not only for his other bands Love + Rockets and Jazz Butcher, but also his solo career as well. One imagines that these musical sketches were deemed to have fallen between the cracks by sheer dint of their numbers, since many of the resulting tracks were excellent tracks that should have been deep cuts or B-sides at the least.” Get more details here.

Tracks From The Attic is at radio now via Independent Project Records.
