Local Customs: Burned At Boddie’s

Various Artists, “Local Customs: Burned At Boddie’s” (Numero, 2011)
In the ‘70s and early ‘80s, the Boddie pressing plant in Cleveland would supposedly put out anything, for peanuts. The mind-boggling variety here (soul, proto-industrial, spooky singer-songwriter, etc.) is evidence, as is the sheer un-pin-down-able weirdness of what should be genre exercises but end up frequently sounding like the first (or last!) examples of said genres, gloriously isolated like musical marsupials.
