Crawling With Tarts - "Crawling With Tarts" (ASP) 1986


This could well be Crawling With Tarts' debut release as far as I know;and its not as you'd expect.
Not too much abstract noise collages,although there are a few of these of course. Mainly its a drum kit and Bass work out,in a DIY Post-punky duo stylee, and is therefore, 1/, very unamerican, and 2/, reasonably entertaining for that low brow area of the cerebral cortex that enjoyed Punk Rock so much.
Well pruned avant-rock minimalism,relieved of the more pretentious branches that can make so much of US'86 cassette culture releases so samey and , yes, boring. They got worse after this,losing the naive charm of discovering that you didn't have to be Led Zeppelin to make a record after all.

Crawling With Tarts and Deathranch ‎– "Deathranch and Crawling With Tarts" (ASP ‎– ASP 20) 1991


Erstwhile collaborators with,and former members of, Big City Orchestra, Deathranch's collaboration with the interestingly named Crawling With Tarts.
I don't know if its meant to sound like this,or its just the worn out tape on this cassette,but these pieces seem to consist of two monaural tracks panned hard to the left and right. One stereo track being some fairly challenging abstract compositions,balanced by the other side of the stereo field being taken up by a uniform fog of Dolby off tape hiss.Not unlike a monaural version of The New Blockaders "Epater Les Bourgeoise", but only half as pretentious.
