The Profile

Lydia Lunch, a New York no wave figure, and guitarist Cypress Grove (Tony Chmelik) collaborated on dark, reverb-laden albums that blend desert- and country-blues with cover reinterpretations. Key releases covered here are A Fistful of Desert Blues (2014) and Under The Covers (2018).

Reviews note that Cypress Grove (aka Tony Chmelik) was part of the last phase of The Gun Club. The duo's collaboration traces back to 2006 tribute sessions related to Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Under The Covers was recorded at home using Pro Tools and reportedly with a single microphone for most sources.

Two DeBaser reviews (2014, 2018) praise the duo's dark, reverb-heavy take on desert and country-blues and on covers. Both reviews rate the work highly and highlight strong guitar work by Cypress Grove and Lydia Lunch's unsettling vocal delivery. The duo's releases discussed are A Fistful of Desert Blues (2014) and Under The Covers (2018).

Notable Quotes

❝ If this year you plan to go on a nice road trip through sun-scorched lands, even vaguely desert-like, for your vacation, you absolutely must procure this disc.
❝ It is a very homogeneous and extremely artistic work, in line with the character of Lydia Lunch: It is recorded at home with pro tools and only one microphone... yes, only one microphone for everything, even Danilo Menna’s drums and Mick Cozens’s harmonica.
