Junkyard

Description

More Info

The Party’s second and final full studio album, also the final release with the five-person lineup, was perhaps its scuzzy masterpiece, its art/psych/blues/punk fusion taken to at times outrageous heights. Right from its start, nobody held back on anything, Cave’s now-demonic vocals in full roar while the rest of the players revamped rhythm & blues and funk into a blood-soaked cabaret exorcism. Nearly every tune is a Party classic one way or another, from the opening slow, sexy grind of “She’s Hit,” Cave’s freaked tale of death and destruction matched by clattering percussion and a perversely crisp guitar from Howard, to the ending title track’s crawl toward a last gruesome ending.
