HEAPS OF NOTHING

Vinyl LP pressing. 2010 sophomore album from Alt-Rock outfit. For this effort, Naked on the Vague eschew their tantalizingly sparse duo attack for a quartet line-up, and the results are as sensational as they are sinister. While the rickety, No-Wave splat found on previous efforts had it's appeal, the heft of a "proper" rhythm section has only helped Naked on the Vague delve deeper into the landscape of Post-Punk murk. Bleak, unrepentant, withering and droll, Heaps of Nothing is a 21st century codification of the gallows wit and mesmerizing otherworldliness of Pere Ubu, Primitive Calculators and Lemon Kittens.
