Simon Bonney - Past, Present, Future

Vinyl LP pressing. Simon Bonney was a 31-year-old native Australian when he transitioned from Crime and the City Solution, his post-punk band with Rowland S. Howard and Mick Harvey of the Birthday Party, known for their haunting guitars and lyrics steeped in "post-blues anomie and meta-blues mythology. At the time he had already traveled from the rural landscape of his childhood to the dankest corners of Berlin's avant-garde underground and then to a new life in the American West," noted the New York Times in 1993. "During these restless years, his music has shifted from brutal, metallic noise to pastoral song craft."
