NOTES:
Heavy Trash vinyl album limited to 2000 copies, there were 6 copies of the test pressing.

Notes from the label: “Out April 6, 2015. Available for pre-order now.

This vinyl-only limited edition (2000) record from Jon Spencer’s alter-ego, Heavy Trash, is an album of previously unreleased wig-outs, instrumentals, out-takes, and other unhinged gems recorded throughout the bands lifetime.

Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray, the men known as Heavy Trash, never thought that anyone would be watching or listening, let alone recording, when they perpetrated these middle-of-the-night experiments in unchecked soul exposition and naked desire. Had they known the tape was rolling, we would never have this demented document of darkness and decay. But their demons have come to light, and you are now invited to dance through the dusky shadows of a musical group on the edge. This is pure Heavy Trash. This is Noir!”

SONG CREDITS:
All songs recorded and mixed by Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray at NY Hed, NYC, 2004-2014 except Good Hair recorded at Toe Rag, London.

SLEEVE NOTES:
Jon Spencer and Matt Verta-Ray, the men known as Heavy Trash, never thought that anyone could be watching or listening, let alone recording, when they perpetrated these middle-of-the-night flip-outs, improvisations, instrumentals, and dangerous experiments in unchecked soul exposition and naked desire. Had they known the tape was rolling, we would never have this demented document of darkness and decay. But their demons have come to light, and you are now invited to dance through the dusky shadows of a musical group on the edge. This is pure Heavy Trash. This is Noir!

“WARNING: Noir! is not for the weak, the uninitiated, for dabblers, or dilettandes. Seriés Aphōnos has gone to special pains to ensure that this record will never be a hit. You cannot give the people what they want, nor can you give this record back.”
