Thin White Rope

"Hailing from the northern California town of Davis, THIN WHITE ROPE was unfathomably peggedas a proponent of the paisley underground movement. The songs the group covered over thecourse of their ten-year career is far more revealing: SUICIDE, THE STOOGES, LEE HAZLEWOOD,MARTY ROBBINS, CAN, and ROKY ERICKSON have all been rendered by the band in the studioand on-stage. That list goes a long way in explaining the mixture of raw, angular riffs, southerntwang, and psychedelia. Originally released in 1988, In The Spanish Cave was THIN WHITEROPE s third album, following their critically-acclaimed second long player, Moonhead. Whilefor many people Moonhead remains the bands masterpiece and most coherently realizedalbum, its an angry and intense record that takes a few listens to really penetrate and appreciate.In contrast, In The Spanish Cave has more light and shade and a much wider musical palette,and while Kysers worldview remains dark verging on paranoiac, the album is perhaps a morerounded representation of the bands unique talents. Frontier Records has digitally remasteredTHIN WHITE ROPEs first five records for LP and CD, and is reissuing them on vinyl for the firsttime in decades."
