Today’s writeup will feature a two track single, an exciting and stellar collaboration by two great experimental artists, both of which need no introduction to most.<\/p>\n

Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten (translation: collapsing new buildings) formed in 1980 in West Berlin, the brainchild of several local avant-garde musicians. Since then, the band has deconstructed the face of popular music, remaining an active, prolific, and powerful force in industrial and experimental music.<\/p>\n

Lydia Lunch is an American musician and poet. She was the former frontwoman of influential NYC no-wave act Teenage Jesus & the Jerks until the band disbanded in 1979. She then persued a solo career, offering up several classic records and collaborations, and has since explored film, poetry, and other creative disciplines.<\/p>\n

In 1982, as the two were gaining steam and exploring the boundaries of music with their own respective acts, Einst\u00fcrzende Neubauten would record but two tracks with Lydia Lunch, also featuring contributions from Birthday Party\/Crime & the City Solution guitarist Rowland S. Howard. What resulted is a true masterpiece of experimental work, a frightening two track 12” single entitled Thirsty Animal<\/i>. Combining the subtleties and talents of both units, these two pieces are among the most powerful and harrowing tracks that either would record.<\/p>\n

…and here they are, for your listening ‘pleasure:’<\/p>\n
