Description
This is a rare vinyl test pressing of the Dais Records reissue of Spahn Ranch's compilation Back To The Wood
"When you hear “Dissipation,” you will feel as if grey walls surround you, but above your head are sunrays from your past, and the fragile voice of the singer is your friend. From the very first twinkle of “Wonder and Perish,” your life will never be the same. It’s all of the languages that are spoken by the instruments that always have me saying Spahn Ranch are super radical. Do yourself a favor and blast their tune “Crutch” loud – the dissonant energy in this song will make you realize that this band is an American treasure. I’m a firm believer that music can bring people together, no matter what subculture you might call home, and Spahn Ranch is the kind of band that can do just that, unify! Let also be known that 20 years before there was ever a Godspeed You! Black Emperor, there was Spahn Ranch." - Cult Nation
"Dais have unearthed a treasure from the 80s Detroit underground—the collaboration of Brad Horowitz, Odell Nails, and singer Bob Sterner in the post-punk band Spahn Ranch. A band soaked in gothic minimalism that perhaps if they were from the UK would have qualified them as being positive-punk.. bassist Hobey Echlin would go on to perform with bands such as Killing Joke, Swans, and Psychic TV." - Post-Punk Online
