DAS DAMEN
Triskaidekaphobe
1988 U.S. TEST PRESSING

Another cool and interesting find during “the big dig” in Boston (locals of a certain age will appreciate that joke). 😂

Last post, I mentioned the weirder, more obscure bands that appeared on SST, and N.Y.’s Das Damen definitely fit that distinction.

However, it’s not the bands sound or approach that is weird or obscure. In fact, for being on SST, they were kind of a more straightforward alternative rock band, which really wasn’t SST’s thing. When you compare it to some other SST fare, it sticks out.

Really fun album, and it would be their second and final record for SST, jumping to Twin/Tone for the third, and City Slang for their fourth and final.

Some trippy cool psychedelic guitars in some spots, phasey ones in others, but a pretty cool record, and a TEST press to boot!
