Northampton Wools













Northampton Wools is a duo comprised of Thurston Moore and Bill Nace, two of my favourite axe-shredding fools. Therefore I was very excited about receiving this debut release in the mail, a double cassette blow-out.
Four sides of bombastic, violent amp-confrontation tempered by some eerie lull that closes down side 4. An almost power-electronics level of unremitting heaviosity is achieved throughout.
The packaging is very nice as well, minimal and eloquent, which is a pleasant suprise as sometimes these underground cassette joints come in decidely sketchy packaging.
