Cul de Sac




:: Milk Devil ::

:: Rain Moths ::

Strange Attractors Audio House recently reissued a digital remaster of Cul de Sac’s gorgeous debut album from 1992, ECIM, so I thought I’d post one of their long out of print follow up 7-inches, 1993’s Milk Devil, off the New World of Sound label. An instrumental band out of Boston, Cul de Sac drew upon elements of surf guitar, psychedelic rock, middle-eastern folk, and krautrock, and blended it with spacey synthesizer textures to form a groovy sort of trance rock. They were a juicy alternative to the angsty “alternative rock” that was inescapable at the time, and damn fine accompaniment while lying on the couch after a few bong hits.
