about

Recorded in Brisbane 1990 [under the band's original name; The Invisible Empire] and produced by John Henry Calvinist.
'An Unnatural Act' is TLD's debut album, self-released in a super limited run of cassettes in '91, then later on in the 90's re-released in CDR format via JHC's own ShyTone imprint in an even smaller edition...
This is the much-deserved 12" vinyl LP re-issue from 2012, through the late great Brendon Annesley & his record label/zine publication, Negative Guest List, and also I believe it to be the last proper release too, before his passing.

"An Unnatural Act

What you do....

You take what you have....a resonator guitar, a mandolin, 3 fuzz boxes, a 5 watt valve amplifier, a 44 gallon drum, some old records....and you acquire a 3-in-1 home stereo with dual tape decks with record and overdub functions....and you tap into what you’ve been listening to, what you’ve been living your whole life, a stream running free through pre-war blues, songsters and saints....and you feel it when you’re sober even, and you do it when you’re fall down drunk....and somehow, over a couple of tumbledown, turnaround months in 1990 you commit An Unnatural Act.

And it contains both kind of breakdowns, it has stolen voices, a cover (sort of), a love song, a piece by Samuel Beckett, sensitive feedback, a back beat, insensitive jokes, the sound of losing it, a tribute, a debt being paid in part, a groove found, an entirety.

And it’s more noise than you can bear.
And it’s deeper and bluer than you can feel.
And you know it won’t come this way again."
