Mighty Sphincter - The New Manson Family (1986)


Cacophonous, drug-addled, overall psychotic deathrock from the great, largely unsung Mighty Sphincter. First heard this via Cosmic Hearse, which at its peak was probably my all-time favorite mp3 blog, and have been wanting to post it for years but always felt like, "What's the point? Cosmic Hearse already did." However, that post (which, unsurprisingly, is a hell of a lot more interesting than this one) is over ten years old now, and I'm certain that a lot of you have never heard this little slice of heaven/hell.

Track listing:
1. The New Manson Family
2. Drop Dead
3. Blood Banquet
4. Good Morning
5. Helter Skelter
6. Bedlam
7. Rich & Dead
8. Centerfold Murders
9. Genuine Argyle
10. Stretching Heads & Tails
11. Final Reward
12. Kings
13. Constrictions in E Major

  5. Cosmic Hearse provided so much killer music to soundtrack my early 20s, fuck is it a trip looking back at it now. Time to go see if any links are still alive.

    That said, your endeavor is certainly the CS spiritual successor, and in its lifetime has perhaps eclipsed it. Thanks for all the music.
