About this item

Post-punk roots rockers rip It up and start again. "Bye Bye Bayou" is Mama Rosin's breakthrough album: here the Swiss trio create a sound unlike any other band on earth. This is rock'n'roll at its most primal, warped and obsessive, where Lower East Side hustlers go alligator hunting. Put simply: 'Bye Bye Bayou' is bad-ass.

Long celebrated as a seminal live band, Mama Rosin's unique vision - Louisiana swamp grooves meet New York's CBGB white heat / white noise! - found legendary American rocker Jon Spencer embracing the band. Matching Mama Rosin with Jon Spencer proved a marriage made in rock'n'roll heaven: rich in texture and flavour, 'Bye Bye Bayou' stands tall as 2012's most uncompromising album.

''Mama Rosin are a rare band that combine familiar influences in subtle and striking ways to achieve a wholly unique and very personal form of music'' Jon Spencer
