About this item

A friend of mine told me he had visited the place that Cancer House live and record. He said they jammed together all afternoon. In the moment, in the zone so to speak, he became more and more convinced that what they were making together was the best music he had ever been involved with. As the afternoon drifted by, second by revelatory second, he began making grandiose plans to release the recording. By the time it was dark outside the windows he imagined it as a future lost classic, a key live document of a scene, a moment and an aesthetic. He thought about all the record she loved. He thought about the great, little known, statements of lo-fi, downer indie: dark, sweet, crawling guitar music by bands like Farewood, Bedhead, UN, or The Sonora Pine. He could even picture the sleeve down to the last detail.

The session ended and as they were all packing up he asked about the recording. And someone said ‘oh, we weren’t recording.’ ”- Jack Rollo

STAFF COMMENTS

Liam says: Don't sleep on this folks, me and Matt have been absolutely bowled over by this. Amazing slowcore from Chicago, Cancer House will scratch the itch of those who love a bit of Codeine, Deathcrash and Moin. Proper beautiful misery, this is one of our tips of the year!
