about

Second studio album by the guiding lights in The Walkabouts. This time around Chris & Carla are credited for playing a variety of instruments: guitars, upright piano, Swinger 500 organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, percussion, synthesizer, loops, programming & assorted noises. Just like the main band, the Chris & Carla duo is steadily developing and refining their sound. Rolling Stone Magazine wrote about this Chris & Carla album, "An expedition to the dark heart of America", and that pretty much sums it up.

about

Glitterhouse Records Beverungen, Germany

It started as a fanzine, in 1981. Deep in the middle of nowhere, in a hick town in Germany. Soon after, Glitterhouse was a record label, too. And a mailorder. And suddenly, in 1984, GLITTERHOUSE RECORDS became a profession.
