Shriekback: The Piercing Sounds Of Shriekback
Mark Dery, Rockbill, March 1987
STARTING WITH the mini-LP Trench in '81, and continuing through Care ('82), Jam Science ('83), Oil and Gold ('85), and now, Big Night Music, Shriekback has been writing music born in the...uh...darker nooks and crannies of the diseased brain.
