city lights cast a ring of shadows


ah, The Shadow Ring. amazing. ineptitude honed down to a point that is so sharp and cutting it makes you wonder how skilled you have to be to play such a way. this is their first lp, put out in 1993. for an early release it is still just as striking as most of their later material, with a definite outsider vibe and spoken/recited vocals. this band sounds like Jandek from england playing with a backwards Village of Savoonga or something of the like. very unique, very strange, and totally worth listening to if you are at all interested in unique strange things. you will never hear a band who sounds anything like The Shadow Ring, i can almost promise you that.
