THE EX - Aural Guerilla LP Documentary in a world spiraling out

in a world spiraling out of control

Best known as a multi-instrumental member of Tortoise and a pillar of the Chicago jazz and experimental music scene

The whip-smart whip-short lyrics are almost a poetry-to-arms that rails against all of the absurdities of modern living

' and of course 'Tugboat' (the band's debut single) stand the test of time and exist in an eternal now

but they're usually more in line with stuff like Hawkwind

THE EX - Aural Guerilla LP Documentary in a world spiraling outOriginally released in 1988, this reissue comes completely like the original release and includes 8 newspaper posters and lyrics sheet poster. "The Ex are a regression to the pop of rage. They understand that punk's form of protest was to amplify your alienation and disposession The Ex are best when they're the sound of a collapsing system, a catastrophic fury that's senseless and unnegotiable. That's their lure in this era of pragmatic reformers."
