The Birthday Party
Junkyard LP + 7" + CD

A dark, twisted masterpiece from 1982, this menacing record was the culmination of the band's time together & takes their art/psych/blues/punk fusion to outrageous heights. ‘Junkyard' contains some of The Birthday Party's most complex & forward thinking tracks, including such firm fan favourites as ‘She's Hit', ‘Hamlet (pow, pow, pow), ‘Release The Bats', ‘Dead Joe' & the title track itself. These songs possess some of the most vivid & brutal imagery from cave, & strikingly original band arrangements that radiate a strange, scuzzy intelligence while remaining astonishingly visceral & frantically energetic.
