Uzi - Sleep Asylum (1986)


This mini-LP is the only release by Uzi, a short-lived band featuring a young Thalia Zedek (Live Skull, Come, others). A great mix of no-wave, art punk, and the drone-y alt rock dirges that Zedek would perfect with Come, with disorienting tape loops courtesy of Phil Milstein. All things considered, it's surprisingly accessible.

Track listing:
1. Criminal Child
2. Pale Light
3. Gabrielle
4. Ha-Ha-Ha
5. Collections
6. Underneath

  1. Really fond memories of walking out of the 9:30 Club after watching Thalia destroy with Live Skull and seeing a wrecking ball, lit by bright lights, hitting a building. Kinda perfect.
