Originally seeing the light of day in April of 1992, Harsh 70s Reality was not just a high water mark for that year, but for the ages. Technically this was the band’s fourth long-play outing, and as a double-album, it followed (and was ever so slightly informed by) two formidable juggernauts that preceeded it: Twin Infinitives and Lake. But it was Harsh 70s Reality that left the decade stronger and more resonant than it came in. People say that rock music died with the passing of Kurt Cobain. But The Dead C slaughtered it in its sleep with this tremendous set of grinding thud. It is in every sense the ultimate post-rock album. To hear it is to understand why one scribe back in the day referred to their sound as “a garbage truck backing over the abyss.” A legendary release from a legendary band on a legendary label.
Six ans après leurs débuts, c’est peut-être le disque qui a le plus fait reconnaitre The Dead C. Free rock expérimental sachant garder ses racines avec des formes chansons, pour mieux les pulvériser dans une sorte de paysage dronique qui marque tant la scène néo-zélandaise. Et le tout toujours sans se soucier ni du début, ni de la fin. Double vinyl sorti en 1992 donc, réédité en CD en 1996 et voici que comme un boomerang on retourne à la case départ ! Un classique que l’on se doit de posséder.
