Hyena

Johanna Went, “Hyena” (Posh Boy, 1982)
Damn near uncategorizable artifact from postpunk L.A. Went was a performance artist who did a lot of interesting birth/disemboweling/etc. stuff with sausages, ketchup, and what look like live worms in this one picture. The music is her ululating incomprehensible gibberish over an ultra-Kinetic, tonality-defying mélange of sKa, hardcore, new wave, Beefheart-style skronk-rock, and pretty much anything else you could imagine. If you like James Chance and Nina Hagen but don’t think they went far enough, this one’s for you.
