Corpse Love

Pussy Galore, “Corpse Love” (Carolina, 1992; original recordings 1985-7)
Pussy Galore weren’t the first band to equate the primitivism of raw, no-practice teenage garage rock and roll with that of extremist avant-noise, but nobody else boiled each side of the equation down to quite such a pure, brutal essence, or fused them together into something so seamless and unique. This contains their earliest, crudest and hence (according to the principles above) best work.
Picks: 2, 15, 16, 17, 26 (Julie’s berserk showcase), 27 (Neil H.’s first hint of Royal Trux), and 19 (kind of their theme song).
