Turkish Delight - Tommy Bell

Reissue of Boston quartet's debut that received comparisons to Belly and Sonic Youth. Originally released in 1996 via Castle Von Buhler label. "Pulled out a favourite of Thurston Moore and tipped as the missing link between Belly and Sonic Youth the furious experimental noise rock of Turkish Delight’s albums is broken by intriguing vintage sample interludes and from the off make obvious the oversight that they didn’t find a bigger audience in the ‘90s or in the intervening years. They were described in a piece on Warped Reality last year as, “Although listening to their debut can, at times, be disorienting — so much happening at once — their controlled chaos is tempered by an uncanny pop sensibility, anchored by the arresting vocals of Leah Callahan. Although ostensibly a guitar-bass-drums-vocals setup, TD also incorporated clarinet, keyboards, bells, and, yes, an electric can, homemade by drummer Dave Nelson. Rarely has everything-but-the-kitchen-sink been this fun, or this danceable.” - The Reckless Yes
