LYDIA LUNCH - Honeymoon In Red

Originally recorded 1982/83
LP Widowspeak 1987
CD reissue Widowspeak 1990 with bonus track




"After leaving the seminal New York no wave outfit Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, poet/actress/vocalist Lydia Lunch embarked on a solo career marked by frequent collaborations and band changes, plus an attitude of confrontational nihilism expressed in both her sound and her often violent and/or sexually oriented subject matter".
(Steve Huey, All-Music Guide)

"Lydia Lunch collaborated with a wide variety of musicians on Honeymoon in Red, including Clint Ruin (later known as Jim Foetus), Roland S. Howard and the Birthday Party. The result isn't that much different from the standard Lunch album, but it has a stronger collection of songs than her average album, and the Birthday Party captures the sound of urban life imploding, which is the sound Lunch is always striving to achieve".
(Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All-Music Guide)

"Lydia Lunch is not a drug-adled weirdo performing for a slavish tribe of punks - Honeymoon In Red is an album fired by a sad but wise consciousness. It's the sound of America dying".
(Jane Solanas, New Musical Express)

"Honeymoon In Red is a magnificent ruin".
(Simon Reynolds, Melody Maker)
