CLIKATAT IKATOWI - The Trials And Tribulations Of... - 3LP - Black Vinyl Set [MAR 21]

3LP - Standard Edition Black Vinyl with 24-page book that pairs Tony Rettman’s colourful essay with dozens of period photos and flyers, an in-depth history of a city and scene that defined the shape of noise to come.  

Unhinged, damaged art-punk from San Diego’s mid-’90s Gravity scene. Gathered here are Clikatat Ikatowi’s three albums— Orchestrated And Conducted By..., River Of Souls, and a first time vinyl pressing for their 1993 demo, all remixed and remastered from the original analog tapes. The accompanying 24-page book pairs Tony Rettman’s colourful essay with dozens of period photos and flyers, an in-depth history of a city and scene that defined the shape of noise to come.
