BUSH TETRAS
RHYTHM AND PARANOIA: THE BEST OF BUSH TETRAS (WHARF CAT)
"Renowned at the dawn of the eighties for waiting the disjoined guitar shronk of the inaccessible No Wave scene with irrepressible, funk-infused rhythms, the Bush Tetras were remarkably influential without ever really receiving their due." - THE NEW YORKER Flashes of light rarely burn for long.
Bush Tetras exploded into New York in 1979 and flamed out just a few years later. Yet somehow this lightning-quick band have risen from their own ashes again and again for four decades.
The spark that ignited Bush Tetras tapped into a deep grid of power, fueled by guitarist Pat Place, singer Cynthia Sley, and drummer Dee Pop.
That chemistry is palpable on Rhythm and Paranoia: The Best of Bush Tetras, which features 29 songs across 3 LPs pressed onto 180-gram vinyl and remastered by Carl Saff, plus a 46-page book with never-before-seen photos, an original essay on the band by Marc Masters, and micro essays by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, R&B legend Nona Hendryx, The Clash's Topper Headon, & more.
