NASTY DILEMMA


Relatively short lived Oakland act NASTY DILEMMA took punk's casual and secret flirtations with '80s ethereal dark wave and brooding shoegazing goth and just ran. They ran until there was no semblance of anything modern or aggressive lurking in the mirror, and they let themselves disappear into the darkest of nights. Elements of Guthrie and Hook, but deconstructed completely so that the only sounds presented here are components struggling to make a whole. I know it takes a full nine minutes for any steam to build up...commit. It's worth the wait. I only saw them once....and it's burned in.
