Now Shipping: The Mekons and William Hooker June 21 2019
Shipping this week, two stellar debuts – reissued for the first time – from across the musical spectrum.
The Mekons made their first album The Quality Of Mercy Is Not Strnen in 1979. Forty years later, these post-punk pioneers are still performing. As Jon Langford quipped, "the secret of our success is our lack of success."
Drummer, composer and poet William Hooker released ... Is Eternal Life on his own Reality Unit Concepts imprint in the late '70s. Featuring David Murray on sax, this free jazz double LP is nothing short of visionary.
