about

1982 was a big year in Athens. R.E.M.'s debut on IRS came out. Pylon, Love Tractor, Time Toy and a multitude of other artists were keeping clubs like the I&I and 40 Watt nice'n'sweaty. One of those bands who were being hyper-prolific was Limbo District. By the time of the recordings on this release, the band had shifted to their third guitarist (an undergraduate econ student named Kelly Crow) and were never at a shortage of great ideas. "Circle of Monkeys" was recorded at one of their rehearsals in the fall of 1982. Please remember: Limbo District never practiced, they only "rehearsed." Evoking the primal craziness of a sleep deprived mariachi band on a week-long bender, it's only eclipsed by "5 'til 12" which affords a glimpse of a more abrupt, No Wave vibe. The flip side was recorded at a New York Rocker benefit at the I&I with Pylon headlining in November of 1982.
Limbo District wrote and recorded over 20 different songs in the 25 months they existed. This is their second proper release. Expect more. Much more.
