DAVENPORT,GARY - SCATTERED THOUGHTS Vinyl LP

A treasure trove of early underground from San Antonio's first "punk" label Closet Records. Centered around the manic energy of founder Gary Davenport, this tidy 13-song collection compiles for the first time the best of his mid-fi work in Mannequin, quirky duos with Mark Champion and Charles Athanas, and alone at the raging edge of suburban Texas. A heady mix of jangly prog, dream-punk, community college rock, and anxious alternative, achieved just as video was killing the radio star. Packaged in a heavy-weight tip-on sleeve, with an accompanying book chronicling the entire sordid affair and visual discography.Track List:1.1 Trust in Authority 1.2 True Freedom 1.3 Labyrinth 1.4 Symbols 1.5 Journey to Oaxaca 1.6 Sarra 1.7 Akhaldan 1.8 A Desperate Situation 1.9 Transience 1.10 Romanticizing Again 1.11 Scattered Thoughts 1.12 In America There's Everything (The Clean Bomb) 1.13 From the IslandLabel: Numero
