THE TUNNEL - "APPARITION OVERDRIVE" Vinyl LP

Limited-edition, fog-colored vinyl (clear-black marble) with locked-groove lullaby and de-luxe jacket/sleeve artwork. Front/back views of the unearthly couple and their unruly coupe on the outside. Band photos and complete lyrics on the sleeve. Beautiful vinyl master and lacquer cut by Carl Saff in Chicago. Manufactured in Los Angeles, USA. The band were kind enough to supply us with some earlier albums for distribution. Limited copies available!

San Francisco band the Tunnel makes spooky art punk blues, a blend of noisy noir (e.g., Swans, Young Widows, Dead Rider) and haunted sensuality (Siouxsie and the Banshees’ “Kaleidoscope,” the Birthday Party’s “Mutiny”).

More intimate and spacious than the Tunnel’s previous record, “Sultry Daggers,” “Apparition Overdrive” was written collectively by two new collaborators, drummer Jon Weiss (Jello Biafra, Helios Creed, Horsey) and Rowland S Howard-esque guitarist Gregory James, along with the returning Sam Black (bass/electronics) and Jeff Wagner (vocals/guitar) Michael Jacobs (drums).

“Apparition Overdrive” was recorded and mixed in San Francisco by Sam Black and mastered in Chicago by Carl Saff (Unsane, Grails).
