Via Andrew at gmtPlus9 (-15) comes an MP3 of “Cavern” (from the Optimo EP, 99 Records 1983 .mp3 audio 05:20), a track by Liquid Liquid. See also here, where I explore the sample history of the track. Dennis Young recently sent me his latest CD Shadow, a radical break in style with his early eighties work with Liquid Liquid. Shadow has bits reminiscent of singer songwriter Tom Waits and post-punkers Echo and the Bunnymen.
Dennis Young on Shadow:
“All of the songs were written around my acoustic guitar & vocals. Most of the songs have a dark rustic quality with the addition of violin, bowed dulcimer, accordion, electric & bass guitars, & various percussion instruments to enhance the mood of the songs. Special thanks to Tom DeStefano & Kevin Booth of “Firedog Studios” for the great job of mixing & production. Also, special thanks to the other thirteen musicians including David Axelrod, Jon Francis, Stephan Eicher, & Sal Principato to name a few. “
